A new trailer has been released for the upcoming action drama Desert Warrior, starring Anthony Mackie, Aiysha Hart, Sharlto Copley, Sir Ben Kingsley, Ghassan Massoud, Sami Bouajila, Lamis Ammar, Géza Röhrig, and Numan Acar.
The film is directed by Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist, Rise of the Planet of the Apes), who co-wrote the script with Erica Beeney (Captive State, The Battle of Shaker Heights) and David Self (Road to Perdition, Thirteen Days).
The synopsis reads: “Set in 7th-century Arabia, Princess Hind (Aiysha Hart) defies her fate, refusing to become a concubine to the ruthless Emperor Kisra (Sir Ben Kingsley).
“Fleeing into the desert with her father, she is hunted by a merciless army and forced to trust a legendary bandit (Anthony Mackie) with secrets of his own. Rising from fugitive to fearless warrior, Hind unites warring tribes for a final stand — the Battle of Ze Qar, a clash that will change history forever.”
The movie was originally filmed in Saudi Arabia in 2021 and 2022. It premiered at the 2025 Zurich Film Festival last fall. Check out the trailer below, and watch Desert Warrior when it’s released in select US theatres on April 24th.
