Synopsis
The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the Genghis Khan, who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader.

Critics' reviews
  • "Mongol is a ferocious film, blood-soaked (...) As a visual spectacle, it is all but overwhelming, putting to shame some of the recent historical epics from Hollywood. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)."
