Case: Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a slave who managed to win his freedom in the gladiatorial arenas, decides to travel throughout the then known world to learn martial arts along with the art of steel.
In this march, he will recognize the symbol of those who committed the genocide of his tribe and murdered his family. His thirst for revenge will bring him face to face with the evil cult of the serpentine deity of Set.
The books by R.E. Howard and R. Jordan provide the material for the most classic fantasy adventure in the history of cinema (well, maybe after The Lord of the Rings), and one of the best in the genre. The perfect combination of stunning set pieces and meracled practical effects artfully immerse the viewer in a dreamlike yet nightmarish world of legends and myths.
The unforgettable musical accompaniment of Vassilis Polydouris contributes to the creation of this mysterious atmosphere. One of the most beloved musical themes in the history of cinema. Arnold Schwarzenegger (okay, no introduction needed...), stars in a role tailor-made for him, and is opposite James Earl Jones (the voice of Darth Vader from Star Wars), who also evokes chills with his commanding voice and his imperturbable but stern gaze.
Original Title: Conan the Barbarian IMDb Rating: 6.9/10 Directed by John Milius Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Sandahl Bergman, Max von Sydow, Cassandra Gava, Luis Barboo, Valérie Quennessen
