Sinopsis
Biografía de T.E. Lawrence. El Cairo, 1917. Un conflictivo y enigmático oficial británico es enviado al desierto árabe durante la Gran Guerra en la campaña de ayuda a Arabia contra Turquía. En el desierto, se hace amigo de Sherif Ali Ben El Kharish y pone todo su empeño en la ayuda a los árabes. Éstos creen que Lawrence es otro amante del desierto que ayuda porque cree que Arabia es débil, mientras que sus superiores británicos creen que se ha vuelto loco. Cuando los planes de Lawrence consiguen llevarse a cabo con éxito, comienza a ganarse enemigos.
