In the year 10,191, the world is at war for control of the desert planet Dune -- the only place where the time-travel substance Spice can be found. But when one leader gives up control, it's only so he can stage a coup with some unsavory characters. Frank Herbert's popular sci-fi novel gets mesmerizing treatment from director David Lynch, who casts Kyle MacLachlan as protagonist Paul Altreidis and rock musician Sting as the villainous Feyd.
