Looking for something like his own Star Wars-level sci-fi franchise, maverick producer De Laurentiis opened up his pocketbook for an adaptation of Frank Herbert’s cult novel helmed by visionary young director Lynch. The resulting epic tale of intergalactic spice wars and warrior Kyle MacLachlan’s messianic meeting with destiny was anything but a smash hit, but is certainly one of the most eccentric and eerily gorgeous would-be blockbusters ever made.
Condensed down to a lean 137 minutes, the plot of DUNE is as murky as the air during a desert sandstorm, especially for those unfamiliar with the books. But it still has more than enough Lynchian panache to be worth absorbing. Plus, it's got Sting running around crazy-haired and mostly naked, and a soundtrack by Toto! Fear is the mind-killer.
