No. It's about a group of pedophile political elites (House Harkonnen) being booted from control of vast wealth and power ("he who controls the spice controls the universe") in favor of a politically minor and relatively good/honest/moral family (House Atreides). The Harkonnens scheme to seize power back, much to the detriment of the plebes who just want left alone (e.g. the Fremen).
One member of House Atreides leads the Fremen resistance against the Harkonnens and their Imperial Sardukkar jackboots.
There's quite a bit of political and philosophical depth (e.g. how humans are defined by their willpower and choices, not just being a two-legged NPC), but at a high level it's a timeless story of good men & freedom lovers vs tyrants and their cronies.

it's a boring story b/c it's happened thouands of times now in history always going back into this shitty conflict. The universe's physical laws lead to this condition. It's pretty bleak. Also the universe's physical laws lead to me saying, faggot, nigger, and "you're a nigger faggot" you stupid farting chink.
Upvoted for 'stupid farting chink'
Pretty good summary.
