It is a highly romanticized story of the life of the Castilian knight, El Cid. It was shot on location in Spain - including the castles of Belmonte (Cuenca) and Peñíscola (Castellón)

  • I cannot wait to read the vicious and cruel comments that will be spewed by europeans on this site. Have at it. Another American to demean while his corpse is barely cold. A great man, an american legend, an academy award winner and a true patriot til the end. " from my cold dead hands"....

  • hope ur not leaving ur man

  • Not yet!

  • Guns don't kill people, other people do! Instead of taking away the means to kill people, why dont you as Americans do more to take away the DESIRE to kill!! We have banned handguns in this country, and yet gun crime is spiraling out of control. You Americans may also bask in the knowledge that burglary and petty crime is lower in the states that have lax gun laws because criminals know they may be shot if they commit a crime. That is his legacy, and for that you should be thankfull.

  • Highly romaticised, but that was the essence of Chuck Heston. He never did anything subtly. 84 years is a pretty good run, but I'm saddened another icon of my childhood is gone. And I think it speaks volumes about his character that he was married to the same woman for 63 years. RIP Mr. Heston.

  • My deepest sympathy to his Family and all that knew this fearless fighter of integrity,in all he touched, and the roles he took on.

    He stood up for his beliefs and gave his all. How many of us can say the same of ourselves. He ilk will be sorely missed.

  • A very plastic, cartoonish flick, poorly shot, poorly acted, poorly directed. A bomb...

  • Charlton Heston was great in the Movie "El Cid". Too bad they don't make movies like that anymore. Movies like Ben-Hur, 10 Commandments, or El Cid simply couldn't be made today because popular culture has changed so much as political reality. But mainly because there's no one remotely like Charlton Heston to infuse tho...se forms of characters(Moses, Ben Hur, and El Cid) with his stature, fire, passion, personnality, grit, determination, and guts.

  • Great scene.

  • THE BEST

  • I agree with you we must carry on his vision.

  • I completely agree with you. He was a great idealist and fought for true, traditional, Christian values.

  • El Cid was a great one, RIP Mr Heston

  • Is this what's known as "Getting Medieval On Yo' Ass"?
