An epic-action adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia.

'A fast-moving swashbuckler with an Arabian Nights flavour and the kind of athleticism that made Douglas Fairbanks a star in the silent era.' Daily Mail

'terrifically good fun, with a pleasing balance of sword-swinging action and zinging irony' The Times

'Daft dialogue and silly costumes, sword fights and death-defying stunts, breathless chases and slithering snakes. Nonsense but entertaining nonsense.' Daily Express
