Dune: part 1 adapts the primary half of Frank Herbert’s epic sci-fi novel. It’s the story of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet), heir to the Home Atreides empire. The Atreides takeover of spice mining on planet Arrakis results in an attempted coup by the Home Harkonnen. Each Atreides and Harkonnen come up in opposition to the Fremen, indigenous folks of Arrakis. Paul and his mom, Woman Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), meet Fremen Chani (Zendaya) and Stilgar (Javier Bardem) at the finish of Dune: Part 1.
Dune: Part 1 opened within the U.S. with $40.1 million {dollars}; the movie was delayed from an October 2020 opening because of the COVID-19 pandemic
