Conan the Barbarian
Director: Marcus Nispel
Actors: Jason Momoa, Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan
PlotBorn on the battlefield and raised among warriors, a young barbarian named Conan witnesses the slaughter of his village and the murder of his father, a tribe chief, at the hands of the ruthless warlord Khalar Zym. As he grows into a man, Conan's sole desire is to seek vengeance against Zym for his family and people's brutal fates. Endowed with formidable physical strength and the skills of a seasoned fighter, Conan embarks on his quest, his path strewn with fierce adversaries and supernatural threats spawned by dark magic.
On his journey, Conan captures the interest of a female warrior, Tamara, who is targeted by Zym as the key to unlocking an ancient power he is obsessively hunting. Together, they navigate a perilous world, confronting monstrous creatures and allies with questionable loyalties. Zym, aided by his sorceress daughter Marique, moves closer to achieving his nefarious goal, which could spell doom for the world if unleashed. Conan must use his brawn, wits, and spirit to thwart Zym's malevolent plans and bring peace to the lands he holds dear.
