In 1890, Frank T. Hopkins and his mustang, Hidalgo, embark on an epic adventure to compete in the treacherous "Ocean of Fire" horse race across the Najd desert region of Arabia for a $100,000 prize. The unlikely duo faces gruelling conditions, sabotage, and contempt from Bedouin riders who deem them "infidels" on inferior horses. As they navigate this unforgiving terrain, Hopkins must confront his guilt over his role in the Wounded Knee Massacre and his Lakota heritage, while Hidalgo proves to be more than just a loyal mount - a true champion that inspires Hopkins to find redemption.
