Lawrence d'Arabia (1962)
Nel 1917 l'Inghilterra aveva delle precise mire sull'Arabia e sull'Egitto. I disegni politici erano intralciati dai turchi e dall'incapacità delle tribù arabe di riuscire a far fronte comune. Thomas Edmund Lawrence, ufficiale inglese dal temperamento singolare e poco conforme ai tradizionali codici militari, innamorato dell'Arabia e del deserto, diventa amico di alcuni capi arabi e riesce a metter d'accordo popoli diversissimi fra loro e a conquistare Aqaba, porto strategico sul mar Rosso. È un'impresa enorme, e gli viene riconosciuta, ma al momento opportuno, quando si tratta di mantenere le promesse, i capi si tirano indietro. Lawrence, con la sua fede, il suo coraggio e il suo talento era soltanto servito come strumento per le strategie espansionistiche dell'impero britannico. Liquidato dall'esercito Lawrence muore, ancora giovane, in un banale incidente di moto.
