Hidalgo is a film based on a cowboy (Viggo Mortensen) who during the 1890s competes with his mustang "Hidalgo" against the traditional pure-bread Arabian horses in a 3,000 mile race called the "Ocean of Fire" across the Arabian desert.

After the filming was complete Viggo Mortensen purchased RH Tecontender, one of the paint horses that was used in the movie

Won a Spur Award from the Western Writers of America

1. "If you do not have some secret place in your soul that still responds even a little to brave cowboys, beautiful princesses and noble horses, then you are way too grown up and need to cut back on cable news. And please ignore any tiresome scolds who complain that the movie is not really based on fact. Duh. - Roger Ebert
2. "I know Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit was a friend of mine. Hidalgo is no Seabiscuit." - Rotten Tomato Reviewer
3. "I don't object to Hidalgo because it may fudge facts...I object to it because they are used in the service of a story that is, frankly, quite boring." - Rotten Tomato Reviewer
