Dune is a 1984 science fiction film written and directed by David Lynch, based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel of the same name. The film stars Kyle MacLachlan as 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 band Toto. Like the novel, the central plot concerns a young man foretold in prophecy as the "Kwisatz Haderach" who will free the titular desert planet from the malevolent House Harkonnen with the aid of native Fremen.
