Which epic film directed by David Lean tells the story of T.E. Lawrence? Lawrence of Arabia is David Lean’s acclaimed 1962 biographical epic.

The film stars Peter O’Toole as T. E. Lawrence, the British army officer who worked with Arab forces during the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire in World War I. It draws partly on Lawrence’s memoir Seven Pillars of Wisdom, though the movie reshapes events and personalities for dramatic effect.

Produced by Sam Spiegel and distributed by Columbia Pictures, Lawrence of Arabia is known for its vast desert cinematography, Maurice Jarre’s score, and its exploration of identity, leadership, and imperial politics. It won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Cinematography. Its 222-minute running time places it among the defining large-scale productions of classic Hollywood.
