Story
“Ocean of Fire” is a grand race of 3000 miles across the barren Arabian desert , in which the Arabian Bedouins on the best Arabian racers took part for 1000 years. In 1890, a rich Arab sheikh invited for the first time to participate in the traditional equestrian run of a foreigner. It turned out to be Frank T. Hopkins, whose father was white, and his mother - a native American from the Lakota tribe.
Also in 1890, Frank arrived in Arabia with his spotted mustang Hidalgo, whom he raised on a ranch in Wyoming . After the release of the film, the events shown in it were criticized by historians. The fact is that neither the origin of Hopkins, nor his victories in horse racing are not confirmed by anything. There are no Arabian races "Sea of Fire".
