A true story of the life of British explorer and adventurer, Gertrude Bell, QUEEN OF THE DESERT chronicles her journeys of love and loss in the Middle East during the early 20th century.
A curious and adventurous young woman eager to explore the world outside of England, Gertrude Bell (Kidman) goes to the British embassy in Tehran where she quickly falls in love with a secretary of the embassy, Henry Cadogan (Franco). This sparks the beginning of a life-long adventure among the beautiful but misunderstood peoples and cultures of the Middle East. Along the way, her path intersects with archaeologist T.E. Lawrence (Pattinson) also known as Lawrence of Arabia, and Major Charles Doughty-Wylie (Lewis), the British Consul General in the Ottoman Empire.
Academy Award winner NICOLE KIDMAN (The Paperboy, Rabbit Hole, Australia, The Hours) stars alongside Academy Award nominated JAMES FRANCO (Spring Breakers, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, 127 Hours), Golden Globe & Emmy Award winner DAMIAN LEWIS (TVs Homeland), and ROBERT PATTINSON (The Rover, Maps To The Stars, Water For Elephants).
