Dune: Part One Watch Full Movie – A Journey Through Arrakis

In the distant future, Duke Leto Atreides is assigned by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV to replace Baron Vladimir Harkonnen as the fiefholder of Arrakis, a harsh desert planet and the sole source of “spice.” This valuable psychotropic substance imparts heightened vitality and awareness, making it essential for interstellar travel. The Spacing Guild Navigators rely on spice to guide starships through space instantaneously and safely. However, Emperor Shaddam, fearful of Leto’s rising power, plots for House Harkonnen to retake Arrakis, secretly aided by his Sardaukar troops, with the intent to destroy House Atreides.

The Intrigue of Power and Control on Arrakis

Duke Leto is suspicious of the Emperor’s intentions but weighs the risks against the power of controlling Arrakis and forming an alliance with its mysterious natives, the Fremen. Leto’s concubine, Lady Jessica, is an acolyte of the Bene Gesserit, an exclusive sisterhood with advanced physical and mental abilities. As part of a centuries-long breeding program, they instructed her to bear a daughter whose son would become the Kwisatz Haderach—a Bene Gesserit and messianic superbeing with the clairvoyance necessary to guide humanity to a better future. However, Jessica disobeys and bears a son, Paul, who is trained by Leto’s aides, including Duncan Idaho, Gurney Halleck, the Suk doctor Wellington Yueh, and the Mentat Thufir Hawat. Jessica also teaches Paul the Bene Gesserit disciplines.

Paul’s Visions and the Deadly Gom Jabbar Test

Paul confides in Jessica and Duncan about troubling visions of the future. The Reverend Mother and Imperial Truthsayer Gaius Helen Mohiam subjects Paul to a deadly gom jabbar test to assess his humanity and impulse control, which he successfully passes. This test marks a significant moment in Paul’s journey, as it reveals his potential and the challenges he will face.

Upon arriving at Arrakeen, the principal stronghold on Arrakis, House Atreides makes contact with the Fremen. The natives revere Paul and Jessica, a reverence rooted in the Bene Gesserit’s influence on Arrakis centuries earlier. An assassination attempt on Paul with a hunter-seeker fails, highlighting the dangers that surround them. In a secret meeting on the Harkonnen planet Giedi Prime, Mohiam insists that Baron Harkonnen spare Paul and Jessica during his coup, to which he duplicitously agrees.

Negotiations and the Dangers of Spice Harvesting

Duke Leto meets with Fremen chieftain Stilgar and the Imperial Judge of the Change, Dr. Liet Kynes, a planetologist who lives among the Fremen. Kynes briefs them on the dangers of spice harvesting and the giant sandworms that roam the desert, making the use of protective shields unwise. During a flight, they rescue a stranded spice-harvesting crew from a sandworm, and Paul’s exposure to the spice triggers intense premonitions about his future.

The Betrayal and the Fall of House Atreides

Tragedy strikes when Yueh betrays the Atreides, disabling Arrakeen’s shields and allowing the Harkonnens and Sardaukar to invade. He incapacitates Leto, planning to exchange him for his wife, the Baron’s prisoner. In a final act of defiance, Yueh replaces one of Leto’s teeth with a poison gas capsule, enabling the Duke to assassinate the Baron. After the Baron double-crosses and murders Yueh, Leto releases the gas, killing himself and the Baron’s Mentat, Piter De Vries, but the Baron survives.

Though the Baron has arranged for Paul and Jessica to be dropped deep in the desert to die, a compassionate Yueh leaves them with a fremkit containing survival supplies. Using a Bene Gesserit technique called “the Voice,” Jessica overpowers and kills their captors. As they spend the night in the desert, Paul—surrounded by spice—has visions of a bloody holy war fought across the universe in his name.

The Aftermath of the Harkonnen Invasion

After conquering Arrakis, Baron Harkonnen appoints his nephew Rabban to oversee the planet and orders him to restart spice production to recoup the invasion’s cost. Meanwhile, Duncan and Kynes find Jessica and Paul, who reveals his plan to marry one of Emperor Shaddam’s daughters to avert a potential civil war arising from the Emperor’s betrayal. They are discovered by Sardaukar soldiers
