    The wrong turn Wonderland. The grit the grim of underworld crime is this ‘Alice in Wonderland’, in comparison to the hoity-toity Lewis Carroll-phile royalty of the original. London nighttime is the looking glass and the wrong place wrong time situation you end up in. Extra points for casting crime lords and misfits as the characters in this story, but Alice is the lawyer Cinderella type, facing real hazards in this fable . A trove of B-list UK actors, and the on-location low budget production saves this film from the downfall of that other Tim Burton epic. The added air of fantasy mystery saves this mock wonderland from any dread or phobia induced suffering. A lost gem of the millennium years.

On the Arabian Peninsula in the 1930s, two warring leaders come face to face. The victorious Nesib, Emir of Hobeika, lays down his peace terms to rival Amar, Sultan of Salmaah. The two men agree that neither can lay claim to the area of no man’s land between them called The Yellow Belt. In return, Nesib adopts Amar’s two boys Saleeh and Auda as a guarantee against invasion. Twelve years later, Saleeh and Auda have grown into young men. Saleeh, the warrior, itches to escape his gilded cage and return to his father’s land. Auda cares only for books and the pursuit of knowledge. One day, their adopted father Nesib is visited by an American from Texas. He tells the Emir that his land is blessed with oil and promises him riches beyond his wildest imagination. Nesib imagines a realm of infinite possibility, a kingdom with roads, schools and hospitals all paid for by the black gold beneath the barren sand. There is only one problem. The precious oil is located in the Yellow Belt.
