It was released May 19 1989 and featured Patrick Swayze, Ben Gazzara, Sam Elliot and Kelly Lynch.It was directed by Rowdy Herrington and written by R. Lance Hill and Hilary Henkin.

    Episode 19 of Watched It in the '80s podcast is the epic "Dune" from 1984 starring Kyle MacLachlan and based on the Frank Herbert novel.
