A science fiction directed by David Lynch, written by Frank Herbert.
An ambitious prince and his family land on a planet that produces an important resource. The prince goes to the people who live on the planet and becomes one of them. He leads an attack on the corporations that run the resource trade.
This film is very close to what happens in the book. I have to give it credit for this. When most books are made into a film, they only vaguely resemble the original work. Alejandro Jodorowsky was originally supposed to make this film, but things got complicated and he didn't end up doing it. Luckily, they handed the project over to someone else who was capable of doing it right. The characters and plot are clear and the style fits the story. I'm rating this good for staying true to the original work.
