The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam

2005 · 95 min Adventure Drama Family
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Kamran is a 12 year old boy in the present day who discovers that his ancestor is the 11th Century Mathematician, Astronomer, Poet of Persia, Omar Khayyam. The story has been passed down in his family from one generation to another, and now it is his responsibility to keep the story alive for future generations. The film takes us from the modern day to the epic past where the relationship between Omar Khayyam, Hassan Sabbah (the original creator of the sect of Assassins) and their mutual love for a beautiful woman separate them from their eternal bond of friendship. Filmed almost entirely on location in Samarkand and Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a bridge between eras, using a family legend as a conduit to an epic past. It relies on the contrast between a modern child's perspective and a historical drama, exploring themes of duty, legacy, and timeless human passions.

What lingers after viewing is the texture of a bygone world, where the fates of legendary figures intertwine against the stunning backdrop of ancient cities. — MovieFinder Editorial
