Dune is a blazing hot desert planet deep in the solar system, populated by the Fremen and giant sandworms. It is the source of spice, the most precious substance in the universe.

Paul Atreides must face his fate there. His Imperial family has been granted the rights to mine spice by the Emperor, which draws them into a fight to the death with their sworn enemies, the brutal Harkonnen.

The Harkonnen have enslaved the Fremen to mine spice for themselves.
