- The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206. Mongol delves into the dramatic and harrowing early years of the Genghis Khan, who was born as Temudgin in 1162. As it follows Temudgin from his perilous childhood to the battle that sealed his destiny, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the future conqueror, revealing him not as the evil brute of hoary stereotype, but as an inspiring, fearless and visionary leader.

"Mongol is great cinema, great fun."
-
"I don't know the Mongolian word for panache, but Mongol's got plenty of it. The battle scenes are as notable for their clarity as their intensity"
-
"An exotic saga that compels, moves and envelops us with its grand and captivating story."
-
"'Mongol' really isn't worth leaving your yurt for."
-
"In the end, we're about a third of the way through the great Khan's life; he hasn't even begun to take down the cities of Cathay or spread his seed. That suggests two sequels. I, for one, can't wait."
-
"Full of stunning views of China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan and showing an unexpected side of Genghis Kahn, 'Mongol' feels like an old-fashioned epic."
-
"With its breathtaking landscapes, bloody battles, bitter betrayals and an aching love story, Mongol is a sumptuously crafted epic."
