Dune saw Arrival director Denis Villeneuve adapt the seminal novel of the same name by Frank Herbert and told the story of Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) as he journeys with his aristocratic family to the planet Arrakis to complete duties for the Galactic Empire.

The planet Arrakis is rich in the fuel known as melange (or spice), which is much fought over and valued in the galaxy.

However, the Atreides family face a trap laid for them there by their rivals, the Harkonnens.

Facing grave danger, Paul and his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) find themselves in the desert and face to face with the planet’s mysterious native population, the Fremen.

The second film picks up with Paul and his mother now living among the Fremen, but do you fancy returning to Arrakis for a refresher?
