Cid (1961)

Charlton Heston essays the title role as the famed warrior who led his men in driving the Moors out of medieval Spain.

Lavish in detail and mammoth in scope, director Anthony Mann's epic tale also stars Sophia Loren, Raf Vallone, Herbert Lom. 182 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Region Free
