Geschichte
In a post-apocalyptic future, Beowulf, a wandering warrior, learns about Grendel, a man-eating creature terrorizing an outpost led by King Hrothgar. Grendel attacks the outpost at night, devouring warriors. Hrothgar's daughter's husband is believed to have been killed by the outpost's master of arms. Beowulf decides to challenge Grendel and its vengeance-seeking mother to protect the survivors.
Zusammenfassung
Beowulf (1999) is a sci-fi adaptation of the ancient Anglo-Saxon epic poem 'Beowulf'. Directed by Graham Baker, this action-packed film transports the original story into a post-apocalyptic future. The film explores themes of heroism, vengeance, and survival in a harsh, unforgiving world. Although it differs from the original poem in setting and certain plot elements, the core story of Beowulf facing off against the monstrous Grendel and his mother remains intact.
