Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan) is the culmination of generations of biological planning and political maneuvering – fated to be the Kwisatz Haderach, a superbeing who will unite the universe, his own nature is a mystery to him. But no plans survive contact with the enemy; the vile Baron Harkonnen, his own mother Jessica and the Fremen people of the planet Dune (unique source of the most valuable substance in creation) all have roles to play in this trippy and psychedelic science fiction masterpiece from director David Lynch.
