It is 1916. Brothers Hussein and Theeb are the sons of a Bedouin sheik, and come from a family of pilgrim guides who live a nomadic lifestyle. One night, their camp is visited by Edward, a British officer, and an Arab named Marji. Hussein is asked to guide them to a Roman well on the pilgrims' trail, next to the strategic Ottoman railway. They are warned that the trail is rife with bandits. Theeb wants to join, but his brother insists he stays behind. When the group leaves, Theeb disobeys his brother and follows catching them up after a day's walk. Despite concerns for Theeb's safety, Edward insists on continuing their travel immediately, so Theeb stays with the group and goes on to experience dramatic, terrifying, and tragic events. Using non-professional actors from the Bedouin community in southern Jordan, this ‘coming of age’ film is considered to be a "Bedouin Western"
