Former Mr. Universe Ralph Moeller stars as a Viking warrior in this epic, multi-generational account of the lives of the Nordic avengers. The story begins with the flight of Kjartan (Moeller) from the clutches of his mortal nemesis, Ketil (Hinrik Ólafson), a rather vicious lout. On a quest to avenge the death of his father, our hero unites with fellow good guys to combat his morally-impaired enemies, who are out for his head. Senseless violence, sweaty romance, and male bonding ensue. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, All Movie Guide
The story takes place in Iceland around the height of the Viking Age, where a young man, Kjartan (Moeller), must defeat a horde of evil Vikings, intent on taking over his father's land and stealing his girlfriend Gudrun (Ingibjörg Stefánsdóttir) from him too. To help him in this task, Kjartan seeks help from the older Viking Warrior Gunnar (Thorsen), who trains him to become a fierce fighter, and later aids him in his quest against his archenemy Ketil (Hinrik Ólafsson).
