A fantasy adventure directed by Raoul Walsh, starring, produced and written by Douglas Fairbanks.
A thief falls in love with a princess and when she sends her suitors on a quest to find the rarest treasure, he partakes in the most difficult quest.
Douglas Fairbanks is extremely agile and I think that this film may have been inspiration behind the video game series, The Prince of Persia. For 1924, the monsters are pretty awesome. There's a dragon that breathes smoke, a giant bat and a water-spider. The special effects are easy to figure out now, but back in the day, they must have turned some heads. I wish that my friend who likes action films would watch this, but he would just say it's bad because it's old and not see how cool it is. I'm giving this an awesome rating because it really is awesome.
