In a small Mongolian tribe a young boy struggled to make his way in life. Known as Temujin, his father had been murdered and his own future was precarious.
In spite of the odds he grew up to be one of the most feared military leaders of all time, Genghis Khan. Hailed as a tactical genius, Genghis Khan molded his destitute clan into a formidable army that would eventually conquer Asia, an empire stretching from Persia to China.
Despite his fearsome reputation Genghis Khan was a wise politician who ruled his subjects fairly and left a rich cultural heritage. Hailed as the father of an entire nation, this award winning film about the life of Genghis Khan is a tribute to Asia´s greatest hero.
