Lawrence of Arabia

Running time: N/A

Winner of seven Academy Awards, the big screen is the only way to see one of the cinema's grandest epics, starring Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, and Omar Sharif! David Lean's monumental film recounts the true-life experiences of T. E. Lawrence, better known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia. A young, idealistic British officer in WWI, Lawrence (O'Toole) is assigned to the camp of Prince Feisal (Guinness), an Arab tribal chieftain and leader in a revolt against the Turks. In a series of brilliant tactical maneuvers, Lawrence leads fifty men in a torturous three-week crossing of the desert to attack the port of Aqaba. And following his successful raids, Lawrence's triumphant leadership and unyielding courage gain him nearly god-like status. Lean's masterpiece from 1962, stands not only as one of the great films in the Columbia Pictures library, but also one of the greatest films ever made. In preparation for its 50th anniversary release on Blu-ray Disc and in theaters, the film has undergone an extensive, fully 4K digital restoration.
