Ali Baba

About this series

THDFILMS presents a reimagined dark fantasy take on the classic Arabian Nights tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. A simple woodcutter stumbles upon a hidden treasure cave and an ancient, powerful artifact that drastically alters the lives of those nearby. This supernatural journey explores the corrupting influence of unchecked power and long-forgotten secrets buried within the desert sands. If you grew up on Aladdin, the genie and the magic lamp, this is the same world told as a slow-burn sci-fi fantasy epic — where the cave is a buried ship, the lamp is a machine that has been alone for three thousand years, and the wishes come with a cost nobody reads in advance. Ancient folklore told as science fiction. The pyramids are not tombs. The genie is not a genie. And the man hunting the lamp is not from here.
