It tells the origin story of Mongolian legend Genghis Khan. Set in 1192, After selecting his Merkit wife, 9 year old Temüjin is traveling back to home with his father and companions. That journey changed his life forever.
The locations that are shown in the movie were breathtaking ones. Even though real Genghis Khan was a brutal killer and when it comes to this movie, they presented him as a fearless leader. The background scores were very catchy, especially chanting monks and The interesting fact about the movie is it was nominated for the best foreign language category in Oscar. Overall, it's a slow paced epic movie and  watchable one too.
