Corrected entry: Contrary on what the film claims to be based on "an incredible true story," the story of an American cowboy participating in a trans-Arabian horse race is based on fabricated stories. The cowboy, Frank Hopkins, was known as a "pathological liar."

Correction: Although the movie does add things that are untrue, Frank Hopkins did participate in a 3,000 mile endurance race in Arabia in 1890. He also competed in and won over 400 endurance races, and trained and was an advocator for preserving mustangs. Go to www.frankhopkins.com for information on his life.
