After the events depicted in Lawrence of Arabia, Lawrence travels to Paris with Prince Feisal to negotiate a treaty with the English, French and Americans. They demand a completely sovereign Arabia while the Allies plot to divide it among themselves. As in the original film, Lawrence struggles with his own loyalties. Fascinating, if at times excruciatingly slow, political drama, essential for understanding the background of the Middle East. Ralph Fiennes convincingly portrays the character made famous by Peter O'Toole.
