Add to a movie listAlam Ara (Hindi: आलम आरा, Urdu: عالم آراء, translation: The Ornament of the World) is a 1931 film directed by Ardeshir Irani. It was the first Indian sound film.
Irani recognised the importance that sound would have on the cinema, and raced to complete Alam Ara before several contemporary sound films. Alam Ara debuted at the Majestic Cinema in Mumbai (then Bombay) on 14 March 1931. The first Indian talkie was so popular that "police aid had to be summoned to control the crowds."
The film has long been lost and was not available as far back as 1967 according to the National Film Archive of India, Pune.
Synopsis
The film is a love story between a prince and a gypsy girl, based on a Parsi play written by Joseph David. David later served as a writer at Irani's film company. The story centres on an imaginary, historical royal family in the kingdom of Kumarpur. The main characters are the king and his two warring wives, Dilbahar and Naubahar. Their rivalry escalates when a fakir predicts that Navbahar will bear the king's heir.Actors

À présent, le royaume de Lucis est la seule nation à posséder un cristal, que la dynastie Caelum régnante utilise pour se défendre des envahisseurs via un mur magique. Le cristal, traditionnellement considéré comme un cadeau des divinités, est gardé dans une chambre spéciale à l'intérieur de la Citadelle Royale et détient un pouvoir magique n'étant accessible qu'à travers l'Anneau des Lucii, un anneau transmis de génération en génération aux rois de la lignée des Lucis.

Far north of the Arctic Circle, a nuclear bomb test, dubbed "Operation Experiment", is conducted. Prophetically, right after the blast, physicist Thomas Nesbitt (Paul Christian) muses, "What the cumulative effects of all these atomic explosions and tests will be, only time will tell." No sooner said, the explosion awakens a 30-foot (10 m) tall, 100-foot (30 m) long carnivorous animal known as Rhedosaurus, thawing it out of the ice where it had been held in suspended animation. Nesbitt is the only witness to the beast's awakening and is later dismissed out-of-hand as being delirious at the time of his "sighting". Despite the skepticism he persists, knowing what he saw.

The Empire of Izmer has long been a divided land, ruled by the Mages, an elite group of magic users. An evil mage named Profion (Jeremy Irons) attempts to create a sceptre that allows him to control Gold Dragons. He tries it out on a golden dragon, but it backfires and so the dragon is out of control, leaving Profion to kill it. The dragon bleeds into the river, causing it to catch fire, which many inhabitants notice, including a pair of thieves, Ridley (Justin Whalin) and Snails (Marlon Wayans).
