David Lynch. Here's what Wikipedia says about it. I watched as a kid and didn't understand much. Re-watched it as an adult and it didn't clear much up.
Dune is a 1984 American
epic science fiction film written and directed by
David Lynch and based on the 1965
Frank Herbert novel of the same name. The film stars
Kyle MacLachlan (in his film debut) as young nobleman
Paul Atreides, and includes an
ensemble of well-known American and European actors in supporting roles. It was filmed at the
Churubusco Studios in
Mexico City and included a
soundtrack by the
rock band
Toto, as well as
Brian Eno.
Set in the distant future, the film chronicles the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet
Arrakis, also known as "Dune". The planet is the only source of the drug
melange—also called "the spice"—which allows
prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable
commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose inheritance of control over Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords,
House Harkonnen. Paul is also a candidate for the
Kwisatz Haderach, a messianic figure in the
Bene Gesserit religion.
