Lawrence of Arabia | BFI 75

Lawrence of Arabia

David Lean's masterpiece - perhaps the greatest of screen epics - stars Peter O'Toole in one of the most electrifying debuts in film history. This true story follows the struggles of T.E.Lawrence in uniting the hostile Arab factions and leading them to victory over the ruling Turkish Empire during the First World War.
