La administración de Arrakis es transferida por el emperador de la noble Casa de Harkonnen a la Casa Atreides. Los primeros no quieren abandonar sus privilegios, y a través de traiciones y sabotajes, destierran al joven duque Paul Atreides al duro entorno del planeta para que muera. Pero Paul podría resultar ser mucho más que un duque al que han usurpado su puesto... Su lucha se encuentra en el epicentro de un nexo de poderosas personas e importantes sucesos, y las repercusiones se dejarán sentir a través del Imperio.
