Hyderabad, May 8 -- Saudi Arabia dreamed big with Desert Warrior, a historical action film made on a massive scale with Hollywood stars and a huge budget. However, the film has now become one of the biggest box office disasters in cinema history after earning only around Rs. 6 crore worldwide against a reported budget of nearly Rs. 1400 crore.

The film first had its world premiere at the Zurich Film Festival in September 2025. After that, Desert Warrior arrived in theatres across the United States on April 24, 2026.
