| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Conqueror |
|---|
There's more to say about this movie than what's in the movie. This was the movie that ended RKO Radio Pictures. The role of Genghis Khan is played by John Wayne, in a "fictional" story, "based on fact." It was shot near an A-bomb testing site, and nearly everybody involved died of cancer. The Duke finds a woman to love and conquers Mongolia. Lots of horse riding, battle scenes, and hammy dialogue. The armor pops up in other movies from time to time.
