Plots(1)
Genghis Khan stars Omar Sharif in the role of the legendary Mongol chieftain, uniter of the nomadic hoardes, conqueror of all Asia and terror of the west! This film tells the story of his rise from captive slave boy to daring guerilla leader, to confiant and ally of the Emperor of China, to saviour of the Empire against the barbarian invaders. His life is spent in brutal battle, in luxurious splendour, in the endless pursuit of primitive, ultimate power. (official distributor synopsis)

Terrible! I don't know why it says that the film is historical, I would rather suggest pathetic. The costumes are straight out of a European film about bandits, and when I see who plays the Mongolians and Chinese, I wonder why the film has women in it and why the female roles aren’t played by men. Lame...

An extremely tired film, made without a single decent directorial idea that would have interested me. While the cast is appealingly likable, and so is Genghis Khan's story, the result is, for all intents and purposes, presumptuous misery that probably wanted to play at being Lawrence of Arabia (three years its senior), and it deserves its failure.
