In 1192, Temüjin, a prisoner in the Tangut kingdom, recounts his story through a series of flashbacks.Embarking on an expedition 20 years earlier (1172), nine-year-old Temüjin is accompanied by his father Yesügei to select a girl as his future wife. He meets and chooses Börte, against his father’s wishes. On their way home, Yesügei is poisoned by an enemy tribe; on his dying breath, he tells his son that he is now Khan. However, Targutai, Yesügei’s lieutenant, proclaims himself as Khan and is about to kill his young rival. Prevented from doing so by the boy’s mother, Targutai lets him go and vows to kill him as soon as he becomes an adult.Mongol The Rise of Genghis Khan 2007 Full Movie Download
After falling through a frozen lake, Temüjin is rescued by Jamukha. The two quickly become friends and take an oath as blood brothers. Targutai later captures him, but he escapes under the cover of night and roams the countryside.
Years later (1186), Temüjin is once again apprehended by Targutai. He escapes a second time, finding Börte and presenting her to his family. Later that night, they are attacked by the Merkit tribe. While being chased on horseback, Temüjin is shot with an arrow but survives. Börte, however, is kidnapped and taken to the Merkit camp.Temüjin goes to Jamukha—who is now his tribe’s Khan—and seeks his help in rescuing his wife. Jamukha agrees, and after a year, they launch an attack on the Merkits and are successful. One night, while celebrating their victory, Temüjin demonstrates his generosity by allowing his troops to take an equal share of the plunder. Two of Jamukha’s men see this as a stark contrast to their Khan’s behavior and desert him the next morning by following their new master. Jamukha chases him down and demands that he give his men back, to which he refused. This act, aggravated by the inadvertent killing of his biological brother by one of Temüjin’s men, leaves Jamukha (with Targutai as an ally) no choice but to declare war on him. Outnumbered, Temüjin’s army is quickly defeated. Sparing his blood brother, Jamukha decides to sell him into slavery.[3]
