Lawrence of Arabia is a 1962 British and American film directed by David Lean, dramatizing the experiences of British army officer T. E. Lawrence during the First World War as he becomes involved in and eventually helps lead the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule in the Hejaz and Syria. The film follows Lawrence's rise to prominence, his increasingly conflicted feelings about the violence of the campaign, and the political compromises that undercut the promises made to his Arab allies. Lawrence of Arabia won seven Academy Awards including Best Picture and is consistently ranked by critics and film institutes among the greatest films ever made, particularly for its large-scale desert cinematography.
