60 years after first hitting the big screen, "Lawrence of Arabia" stands as one of cinema's crowning achievements. From Peter O'Toole's star-making performance to the breathtaking desert landscapes filmed in glorious Super Panavision 70mm, David Lean's masterpiece has influenced filmmakers ranging from Steven Spielberg to Andrew Stanton.

BBC America said Monday that it has signed a two-year, multimillion-dollar deal with Granada International that will provide the channel with 160 hours of drama programming.

The mini is a Picture Palace/Celtic Films Entertainment/BBC America production.
