About this itemThis version of Frank Herbert's popular 1965 sci-fi novel is the first of a two-part adaptation. This story covers only the first half of the novel and features Paul Atreides, whose duke father, Leto, accepts the stewardship of a planet called Arrakis. Since it's the main source of a most coveted substance called the melange, the leadership of its mining industry has been contentious, which the heir of the House Atreides will soon find out.
