Oh, my beloveds, in a vision the prophet Muhammad has instructed me. Let mountain and desert tremble, let cities shudder, and let the fat and the rich and the corrupt in far places mark this moment and turn in fear of all those miracles to come. And let none in all Islam, from this victorious hour, believe I am other than the expected one, the true Mahdi.
from: Khartoum (1966)
Laurence Olivier acted as Mahdi Muhammad Ahmed
