The Conqueror

In late-12th-century Asia, the ambitious Mongol chieftain Temujin (John Wayne) captured the Tartar princess (Susan Hayward) intended as his rival's bride...and set the foundation for his ultimate consolidation of tribal power as Genghis Khan. Producer Howard Hughes' opus was instantly notorious for its casting, and ultimately so for the illness rate amongst cast and crew from the Utah location's proximity to atomic test sites. Pedro Armendariz, Agnes Moorehead co-star. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
