Orphaned by a cold-blooded cult leader (James Earl Jones) and his band of brutal marauders, Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) endures a childhood of merciless slavery only to become a gladiator for the amusement of his captors. Sent to the Far East to hone his fighting skills, Conan is freed and begins a dangerous, full-blooded quest to avenge his parents' massacre. Now, the sword-wielding warrior must vanquish his bloodthirsty enemies in a death-defying action-adventure about courage, strength, character and the triumph of good over evil.

Great Sword & Sorcery Film - Conan the Barbarian review by GI

Spoiler Alert
23/02/2022

A great sword and sorcery epic set in a mystical Norse like world and adapted from the very popular series of books by Robert E. Howard. It's also Arnold Schwarzenegger's first narrative film and set him on course for the action star he later became. And he's rather good in this and perfect casting too. When his parents are murdered during a raid on his village the young Conan (Jorge Sanz) is sold as a slave and later trained as a gladiator growing into a formidable warrior. When he is set free the now adult Conan (Schwarzenegger) embarks on a path of vengeance on the leader of the mysterious snake cult that killed his father and mother. If you loved Game Of Thrones then you'll really like this as it's adult, action packed and filled with bloody battles, strange monsters, witches and sorcerers with sex and romance and has a great story with a wonderful recreation of a fantastical land of snowy wastes and deserts. Great fun and the end suggests a series was contemplated and although a poor sequel followed in 1984 and a remake in 2011 the series never arrived. Support cast of James Earl Jones and Max Von Sydow just adds to the mix because this is a a great fantasy film and well worth checking out if you've never seen it.
