The Nomad is a historical epic set in 18th-century Kazakhstan. The film is a fictionalised account of the youth and coming-of-age of Ablai Khan, as he grows and fights to defend the fortress at Hazrat-e Turkestan from Dzungar invaders.

What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Though it has a familiar inevitability, the journey is generally compelling, thanks to fierce battles, a gorgeous landscape and heartfelt performances.
It took the combined directorial talents of Ivan Passer and Sergei Bodrov to complete this historical epic about the 18th-century attempt to unify the contentious Kazakh tribes into what would become Kazakhstan (no Borat jokes, please), but the result is really little more than an intermittently entertaining.
While the film has impressive 18th-century trappings and vivid battle scenes, the plotting and acting are rudimentary.
The filmmakers don't appear to know what's important, let alone how to pace an epic for big drama and maximum thrills.
