Continuity mistake: Near the end of the race, Hidalgo collapses and there is blood in his nose. Then, when Hidalgo has gotten up and is running full out towards the finish line, there is no blood there at all. In the next shot, there is a pinkish trickle of blood that goes about to Hidalgo's chin.

Plot summary
Directed by: Joe Johnston
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Omar Sharif, Louise Lombard, Zuleikha Robinson
The Arabian folks don't think that Frank Hopkins is the greatest rider ever. Apparently, you have to win this race called the Ocean of Fire to have that title. So Frank goes; not just to get some fancy title, but to figure out who he is. You see, his mum was native american and his dad wasn't, so he doesn't know where he belongs.

Frank T. Hopkins: Get out of here mister. Leave me be.
Yusef: This is not possible...I was charged with the crime of stealing milk. As punishment I have been assigned to the American and his horse.
Frank T. Hopkins: You're working for me?
Yusef: It was this or be removed of my left hand. The future will tell if I have chosen poorly.
Trivia: Viggo Mortensen liked the horse that was used in the movie so much that he bought it.
