Overview

Hawk the Slayer, after seeing both his father and bride die at the hands of his malevolent brother, Voltan, sets out for revenge and the chance to live up to his title. Tooling himself up with the "mind-sword" and recruiting a motley band of warriors — a giant, a dwarf, a one-armed man with a machine-crossbow, and an elf with the fastest bow in the land — Hawk leads the battle against Voltan to free the land from the forces of evil and avenge his loved ones.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy sword-and-sorcery romp that embraces pulp adventure with colorful characters and earnest action. It's the kind of film that doesn't take itself too seriously but commits wholeheartedly to its quest narrative.
