Hopkins, who has an Indian mother, was wounded and traumatized for life as US Cavalry scout at the Wounded Knee Massacre and joint Buffalo Bill’s world travelling (Ringling Circus) Wild West show as horse stuntman as well as reputed horse racer. An Arabian sheikh comes dare him to defend the show billing as the world’s greatest endurance rider, by entering -as first Westerner- the millennial great ‘ocean of fire’ race across the unforgiving Arab deserts, which always eliminates most riders, often fatally.

As if learning the harsh country in the act weren’t hard enough, he must contend with contempt for infidels and impure horses, as well as competitors stopping at nothing, including the Enlish lady davenport who employs one, having wagered against the obvious favorite, the champions from the stable of Sheikh Riyadh, whose tomcat daughter sides with Hopkins, which proves both helpful and as a mortal a danger as a sand storm..
Plot: Set in 1890, this is the story of a Pony Express courier who travels to Arabia to compete with his horse, Hidalgo, in a dangerous race for a massive contest prize, in an adventure that sends the pair around the world…

Reviews:

“Dances With Wolves” meets “Lawrence of Arabia”.
“Hidalgo” is the story of a man and a paint mustang. However, in the film–as Viggo pointed out in an interview–“The star IS the horse”. The story is one of survival and growth, but it also exemplifies the genuine bond of partnership than can exist between four-legged and two-leggeds. It helps that Viggo’s character (Hopkins) is “Blue Child” and is half-Lakota. Floyd Crow Westerman is a familiar voice speaking the Lakota tongue. The beginning of the film was strangely similar to parts of “The Last Samurai”…principle characters partaking inadvertently of despicable events (i.e. Wounded Knee) and suffering from PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), then seeking refuge from their nightmares in whiskey. Hmm. Onwards and upwards, as Hidalgo suggests when he disappears in the desert camp, only to be found waiting at the starting line for the day’s race, staring at his staggering human, suggesting he get his,well, er-hum, together. Very eloquently projected to the audience, without a word having to be lipped in the style of Mr. Ed (bless him!). This is, after all, the age of natural horsemanship. “Be in the moment” is the horse’s healing lesson for the tortured human.

The concepts truly behind natural horsemanship are that we are all brothers. None of this medieval church philosophy that God set two-leggeds above the four-leggeds for dominion. This film borrows heavily from the sacred wheel of the Lakota (their flag and Hopkins’ talisman) and together the desert sands lead horse and human along the true path of the Red Road to healing and wholeness. Along the way, much hatred of Muslim for infidel is converted to mutual respect and even admiration, as cultural biases give way to common understandings that we are all good, all filled with that divine life, all equal….two-legged, four-legged, and even winged. The kinship and understanding of how to make the right thing easy and the wrong thing difficult–tenets of the late Tom Dorrance, a master natural horseman–take Hopkins and Hidalgo beyond living in the American West with its creatures and peoples to tasting and daring to share strange worlds and stranger customs of other peoples and their creatures–even when half of them are out to ruin Hopkins and his beloved horse. For anyone that loves horses, a good old-fashioned Western, the Lakota people, the mystique of the Arabian culture or has a fear of the Muslim from ignorance, they will find this film to be a broadening and enlightening experience. I have not read the history of Hopkins. The film says he was an advocate that sought to preserve the American Mustang breed his entire life. I have ridden mustangs and spent time with them on a preserve in Montana. They are intelligent and noble creatures. They still need our protection, lest they end up as fare on tables in Europe or processed into dog food. These are sentient, intelligent creatures, each animal unique with beatiful personalities–even humor. And Viggo is fun to watch, too. His bareback gallop scene had everyone on the edge of their seats in our theatre. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Live in the moment and enjoy! Quite a romp. Viggo manages Lakota with the skill that he handled Elvish. Very impressing. And a childhood riding with the Gauchos certainly comes across in his ability to bond and be with horses. Nicely chosen role, sir. And Viggo is perfect for the part. “Hidalgo” was played principally by a horse named TJ and Viggo mentioned in the interview that I saw that he bought TJ and kept him; they really bonded. This film is that genuine in its scenes of horse and human. They really understand one another and the mutual respect and love they have for one another will bring a tear to hardened eyes. This film seems undermarketed with little advance press. But it is a gem. Almost feels like you have seen a foreign film, with the Lakota and Arabic being subtitled. James Newton Howard wrote the soundtrack–another plus. All in all, a good journey to share with food for thought and applications for the terrors, trials, and existence in today’s world. Thank you, all of you who created this piece.
