While this added explanation does help, Dune still has serious problems that added scenes can’t fix. The original version just doesn’t capture the scope of the novel. Many characters end up as completely unnecessary, namely Duncan Idaho (Richard Jordan), Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart), and Princess Irulan. Much technology isn’t really explained, such as the still-suits and the spice mining vehicles. One moment that’s supposed to be awe inspiring ends up looking rather ridiculous - when Paul Mau’Dib climbs onto a gigantic sandworm to ride it across the desert, backed by Toto electric guitars.

Over seven millennia in the future, the universe revolves around one planet—Arrakis... known as Dune. Dune is home to the scarcest commodity in the known universe. It extends life and makes instant space travel possible. This is what has two rivaling empires, the Atreides and the Harkonnens, in conflict. The film follows Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan) and his voyage to ‘Dune,’ his family’s betrayal and the eventual realization of his destiny among Dune’s natives, the Fremen.

The film inspired the Cryo Interactive video game Dune, which used elements (such as the Weirding Modules) unique to the film. The character of Paul Atreides was designed to look like Kyle MacLachlan, and the CD version of the game included footage of the film.

Dune is the multi-level story of the future where great noble houses battle it out for control of the spice melange - which is only found on the desert planet Dune. There are the good guys, the Atreides, and then the baddies, the Harkonnens, as well as a conniving emperor and powerbroking Spacing Guild.
