This is the storybook film adaptation based on Frank Herbert's cult novel Dune... ==== http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/synopsis?ref_=ttpl_pl_syn ==== "In the opening monologue, Princess Irulan (Virginia Madsen) explains that after the fall of the machine titans and the reclaiming of the universe by humans, the people established training programs to gain knowledge they had lost in their apathy. The two training regimens, each gender specific, enabled humans to establish knowledge in math and psychic abilities. The universe is dominated politically and economically by the spice melange, which extends life and enhances certain psychic powers. The Galactic Spacing Guild and its prescient alien navigators use the spice to "fold space" and safely guide interstellar ships to any part of the universe instantaneously. Melange can be obtained in only one place: the desert planet of Arrakis, also known as Dune. The inhabitants of Dune, the nomadic people called the Fremen, have a legend that tells of the coming of a messiah from another world. The year is 10,191. The Guild sends a navigator emissary to the planet Kaitain to discuss a threat to spice production with the emperor of the known universe, Shaddam IV (José Ferrer). The emperor confidentially shares his plans to destroy one of the noble houses, the Atreides. The popularity of Duke Leto Atreides (Jürgen Prochnow) has grown, and he is suspected of amassing a secret army wielding sonic weapons called weirding modules, making him a threat to the emperor. Shaddam's plan is to give the Atreides control of the planet Arrakis to mine the spice, then have them ambushed by their longtime enemies, the Harkonnens. The navigator commands the emperor to kill the duke's son, Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), a young man who dreams prophetic visions of his purpose. The order draws the attention of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood (a training institution for women), as Paul is a product of their centuries-long breeding program which seeks to produce the superhuman Kwisatz Haderach. Gaius Helen Mohiam (Siân Phillips), a Bene Gesserit reverend mother who serves as an adviser to the emperor, plans a visit to meet with Paul. ==== https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organizations_of_the_Dune_universe ==== On the planet Caladan, watery homeworld of House Atreides, Paul cannot understand why the Harkonnens would give up their hold on Arrakis to the Atreides, but understands that the family must go there. Thufir Hawat (Freddie Jones), a mentat (a human computer trained in pure mathematics), tells Paul they are going because of the promise of a new army. Paul's tutor and mentor, Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart), tests him in the limits of hand-to-hand fighting in preparation for his manhood trials and discusses Paul's amazing abilities with Thufir. ==== https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caladan ==== Paul's mother, Lady Jessica (Francesca Annis), is also a member of the Bene Gesserit, and serves as Duke Leto's concubine. The reverend mother arrives on Caladan to test Paul. Jessica is worried that her son may not live through the test. Mohiam tells Paul about the Water of Life, bile from the giant Arrakis worms, which no man has ever drunk and survived. Only the Kwisatz Haderach, the true messiah in whom the Fremen inhabitants believe, can drink it. With a deadly gom jabbar at his throat, Paul is forced to place his hand in a box which subjects him to excruciating pain, but he resists the urge to withdraw his hand (which would result in death) and passes the test to Mohiam's satisfaction. Meanwhile, on Giedi Prime, the industrial homeworld of House Harkonnen, the physically sick, deformed, and sadistic Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Kenneth McMillan) plans his personal revenge against House Atreides by finding a traitor who will kill the duke. He assigns his nephews Glossu Rabban (Paul L. Smith) and Feyd-Rautha (Sting) the task of crushing House Atreides. ==== https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giedi_Prime https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Harkonnen ==== Upon arriving on Arrakis, Leto is informed by one of his right-hand men, Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan), that the Fremen have been underestimated; they exist in vast numbers and could prove to be powerful allies. Paul and Leto meet with Dr. Kynes (Max von Sydow) a spice mining leader who takes them by aircraft to a remote area where they witness a giant worm attacking a mining ship. Faced with the destruction of the mining facilities, Duke Leto orders the place evacuated rather than risking lives by trying to save the precious spice ore, and even saves many of the workers by bringing them on his shuttle before the facility is destroyed, earning him the trust and recognition of Dr. Kynes and the rest of the Fremen workers. But before the duke can establish an alliance with them, the Harkonnens launch their attack against Arrakis. While the Atreides had anticipated a trap, they are unable to withstand the Harkonnen attack, which is aided by the Emperor's elite troops, the Sardaukar, and by a traitor within House Atreides itself (...)".

Joan Carol Dennison
Joan Carol Dennison (2 de Abril de 1948) nasceu em Baltimore, Maryland (EUA). Filha de um engenheiro aeronáutico, desenvolveu precocemente o interesse pela astronomia, sua grande paixão de infância. Durante o ensino médio descobriria a ficção cientifica, assumindo o lugar da astronomia, principalmente influencida pelo estilo de André Norton. Vinge estudou Artes na Faculdade, mas acabou mudando de especialização, para Antropologia, e recebeu um grau BA da Universidade de San Diego em 1971. Logo após, trabalhou como arqueóloga no Condado de San Diego. Vinge foi casada duas vezes: primeiro com o colega autor de ficção científica e matemático Vernor Vinge, e depois com o editor de FC James Frenkel. Com Vernor e Frenkel possui dois filhos cada, e vive em Madison, Wisconsin. Ela ensinou no Seminário Clarion várias vezes, "tanto o Oriente e o Ocidente". Além de escrever, Vinge também faz e vende bonecas. Robert A. Heinlein, em parte, dedicou seu romance "Friday" (1982) para Joan. O romance "A Rainha de Gelo" ('Snow Queen') ganhou o Prêmio Hugo de Ficção Científica em 1980. "Olhos de Âmbar" (Eyes of Amber) ganhou o Prêmio Hugo de 1977; a autora também recebeu indicações para várias prêmiações: Hugo, Nebula, John W. Campbell Award, New Writer, etc. "Psion" foi nomeado Melhor Livro para Jovens Adultos pela American Library Association. Nas décadas de 80 e 90 Vinge ficou muito ocupada com a produção de novelizações a partir dos roteiros de filmes de grande bilheteria, como 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome', 'Dune', 'Ladyhawke', 'Willow', 'Santa Claus: The Movie', 'Lost in Space' e uma série de outros. Ela também fez adaptações para livros infantis, como 'Star Wars: Retorno do Jedi Storybook',que ganhou o Prêmio North Dakota Children's Choice de 1984. Nos primeiros anos de sua carreira Vinge ganhou a reputação de ser uma das poucas mulheres autoras de ficção científica hard, e ela era uma freqüente colaboradora da Analog, certamente a publicação mais dedicada a esse estilo de FC. No entanto, ao mesmo tempo, suas histórias têm abordado temas menos científicos, como estruturas sociais - o que não surpreende, dada a sua formação de antropóloga. Em 2 de março de 2002, Vinge ficou gravemente ferida em um acidente de carro que a deixou com danos cerebrais "menores, mas debilitantes" que, junto com a fibromialgia, a deixou incapaz de escrever. Ela se recuperou a ponto de ser capaz de retomar a escrita em torno do início de 2007 , e seu primeiro livro novo pós-acidente é a novelização de 2011 do filme "Cowboys & Aliens".
