The creativity of Moustapha Akkad came in such movies as _Lion of the Desert (1980)_ and The Message (1976), where he directed and showed some really creative amazing view on the history of Islam. As an Arabic Muslim it was really hard for him to make it in Hollywood but no one could deny his talent as a director and a producer.
