Director Ruper Wyatt’s new film, Desert Warrior, is set to come to theaters April 24, 2026. The film stars Anthony Mackie, Aiysha Hart, Ghassan Massoud, Sharlto Copley, and Sir Ben Kingsley.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Set in seventh-century Arabia, Princess Hind (Aiysha Hart) defies her fate, refusing to become a concubine to the ruthless Emperor Kisra (Sir Ben Kingsley). Fleeing into the desert with her father, she is hunted by a merciless army and forced to trust a legendary bandit (Anthony Mackie) with secrets of his own. Rising from fugitive to fearless warrior, Hind unites warring tribes for a final stand—the Battle of Dhi Qar, a clash that will change history forever.
