A completely new transfer was used for the Superbit edition that was supervised by restoration expert Robert A. The Superbit also benefits from a DTS audio track. The extras are well done on the limited edition, it is a shame that a Superbit Deluxe Edition was not made instead.

A middling British Lieutenant by the name of T.

Lawrence Peter O'Toole may be the most enigmatic man in the entire military. He works diligently and with exacting precision on map detail. His is a rather quirky sense of humor and slightly odd way of carrying himself. He's a very highly educated man, an expert on Arabic culture and letters, and he's about to embark on a quest that will rise his star within the army ranks and the general public alike.

He's sent on a lengthy mission of personal information gathering to assess the progress, or lack thereof, concerning the Arab uprising against the formidable Turkish Army. He's to meet with the noted Prince Faisal Alec Guinness and is escorted by Sherif Ali Omar Sharif , a man who murders Lawrence's first guide and companion for drinking well water without its owner's -- Ali himself -- permission.

Lawrence impresses the Prince a great deal with his honesty, intelligence, grasp of Arabian culture, and respect for the Arabs' ways. He speaks out against a plan of retreat from the Turks and instead proposes a dangerous cross-desert raid on the Turkish coastal stronghold of Akaba, the capture of which would yield political, strategic, and morale-boosintg victories all. As Lawrence proves himself a friend of the Arab, understanding of and embracing their ways, a strong military strategist, and a man of impeccable courage, he works his way into the hearts of his Arab comrades and morphs into a man fully ingrained in their ways.

As he leads the Arabs in battle, unites warring tribes, and settles difficult disagreements, he becomes a hero to the Arab people, a respected military figure, and a curiosity around the world. As victories mount and Lawrence's star rises, he comes to realize the weight of the burden he bears and begins paying towards the inward price for his outward successes and transformation.

Lawrence of Arabia is the inward story of a single man set against the sweeping outward wrappings of an epic. It's a film that fashions an intimate tale on a grand scale, making use of countless emotions and actions to assemble a captivating journey across deserts, through war, and from mind to soul. Director David Lean The Bridge on the River Kwai manages what seems nearly impossible in any artistic medium, and that is conveying so much personal drama through such strong character development in a movie so broad in physical scope, so visually dazzling, so audibly captivating, so absolutely immersive in every way.

The story of T. Lawrence is one of the most intimate yet in many ways peculiar in film history. His tale is one defined by deeds but not through an abundance of physical actions. He's a man of odd manners and ambiguity but a strong stature and high intelligence. He's a man of conviction and courage but prone to wild swings of emotion and folly. He's respected but not always understood, held in high regard but at some expense to his own well-being, moral compass, and overall stability.

His is a tale that's timeless though set in a certain place and time. His story is deeply personal though spread far and wide. It speaks to the man that his life is shaped by surrounding himself with those unlike him and distant from his culture, never mind the vastness of the desert and the inhospitable terrain in which Lawrence not only finds life, but thrives. But then comes the downward half of the arc. His rise from obscurity to stardom, journey from cockeyed personal confidence to delusions of divineness, and the inevitable fall make for a splendid inner story that takes shape from within the gruel of war and the harshness and expanse of the desert.

It's a uniquely fascinating character study, though sometimes a bit obscured by what is an almost overpowering sense of grandeur that is the rest of the filmmaking story. Indeed, Lawrence of Arabia remains an awe-inspiring spectacle of the finest variety. The movie absolutely dazzles across every square inch of bold cinematography, each stroke of Maurice Jarre's unforgettable score, and every second of Lean's impeccable direction, from his handling of fast action scenes to lingering distance shots of desert expanse and the slow reveal of characters approaching from the horizon.

The movie is inspired filmmaking and inspiring to all who watch it. It's a film grand in scope and grander in its display of the Middle East's geographic splendor.
