Can you imagine shooting a movie and every moment you spend shooting it you die, reality surpasses fiction, there is a movie with the record of having the largest number of victims in the history of Hollywood cinema, this without counting the horses that surely passed it poorly filming combat scenes, horses in the movies were basically disposable at the time.
The Conqueror would be his penultimate film, an epic romance based on the thirteenth-century Mongol warlord Genghis Khan who would be played by John Wayne, who was always famous for his Old West movies, who thanks to his fame was able to move influences to get the role of an Asian conqueror during the Middle Ages, Genghis Khan with gringo accents.

Howard Hughes envió al equipo de producción a Saint George una pequeña ciudad cercana en el estado de Yuta, desde ahí el equipo de producción se trasladaba a las locaciones en Snow Canyon, una espectacular Barranca erosionada por el viento a 10 kilómetros al norte de Saint George que servía para representar en las escenas de exteriores a la estepa de Asia, ahí se realizaría la mayor parte de la producción incluyendo las escenas de batallas épicas de ejércitos a caballo.

Filming began in 1954 just months after a round of 11 nuclear tests conducted in the Mercury Nevada desert, 20 kilometers from the Groom Lake military airport, also known as Area 51, between the nuclear test range and the locations where filmed the movie there are 200 kilometers of mountains, that's nothing and you can imagine what happened.
