Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea

Shot on location in Mongolia with more than 25,000 extras, this sweeping epic traces the efforts of Genghis Khan (Takashi Sorimachi) to unite the nomadic tribes of northeast Asia into a single empire. Known as "the Blue Wolf," Khan led a fascinating life that included a birth surrounded by secrets, a brutal betrayal by a once-loyal friend and a son who grew to share the same burdens that once oppressed his father.
