- Director: John Milius
- Genre: Action & Adventure, Science Fiction & Fantasy,
- Studio: Universal Pictures
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Duration: 145 Mins
Overview:
Arnold Schwarzenegger took a muscle-bound step closer to superstardom with this entertaining sword-and-sorcery epic from John Milius, the writer of Apocalypse Now. Milius quotes Nietzsche and ladles on the fantasy atmosphere with a Wagnerian flourish as Arnie's Nordic superman ventures forth to avenge his parents' death at the hands of James Earl Jones's warlord. He's aided in his quest by thief Sandahl Bergman and would-be comic sidekick Gerry Lopez. It's all too humourless for its own good, but the movie looks fabulous, rather like Arnie himself, and succeeds through a similar combination of testosterone and self-belief.
