Dune (2021) has received widespread critical acclaim for its visuals, performances, and faithfulness to the original novel. The movie holds a 83% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with many critics praising the film's ambition, world-building, and performances.

Dune is set in a distant future where humans have colonized other planets across the galaxy. The story takes place in a feudal society where powerful noble families, known as the Great Houses, rule over various planets. The planet Arrakis, also known as Dune, is a desert planet where a rare and highly valuable substance called melange, also known as "the spice," is found. The spice extends human life, enhances cognitive abilities, and allows for interstellar travel.

The movie follows the story of Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet), the son of Leto Atreides (played by Oscar Isaac), the ruler of the planet Caladan. Leto is appointed by the Emperor to govern Arrakis, which was previously controlled by their arch-nemesis, the ruthless House Harkonnen. Paul's mother, Lady Jessica (played by Rebecca Ferguson), is a member of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, a mystical organization with advanced mental and physical abilities.
