    They do warn you at the beginning of this film that they take literary license in the telling of this story. They don't tell you that most of the dialog and much of the plot itself is written with "literary license." It does effectively tell the story of David's fight against Goliath and provides enough background material for viewers to understand why David fought Goliath. Clearly this is a low budget production and I don't like to dismiss films simply for that reason. My biggest complaint is the way that the movie was made to be about twice as long as necessary. If you watch this using a player that has adjustable speed, you can zip through the minutes of a prophet trekking through the desert and speed past some of the redundant scenes of David's warfare training. It's a good movie for family viewing if the youngsters don't get bored with redundant scenes, but watching this film together can also provide a good opportunity to share and discuss more Sunday school lessons.

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.
