PRINCE OF THIEVES
FADE IN:
SUNSET
The glowing orb ripples like a blood-red eye.BLACK, ROBED FIGURE
A face of the ages. Dark, wrinkled skin. Wizened,
almond eyes. He howls at the sun. His voice ECHOES
across the sky. The Moslem call to prayer.
Hundreds of feet below his tower, a mud-walled city of
minarets and mosques. A human ants' nest. Scurrying to
their devotions.EXT. TWELFTH-CENTURY ARAB CITY - ESTABLISHING SHOT
