A
man with a remarkable talent for violence must fight to survive when he sets out
on an extraordinary journey in this fantasy from director
Nicolas Winding Refn. One Eye is the nickname given to a nameless, mute warrior
who has become a slave to Barde, a wealthy Scotsman who obtained One Eye for his
remarkable fighting skills. One Eye is a fierce warrior but shows little loyalty
to his master, and when the opportunity presents itself, One Eye murders Barde
and his mercenaries and sets off on his own, with a young boy tagging along to
speak on his behalf. Eager to leave Denmark behind in favour
of freedom and adventure, One Eye throws in his lot with a band of Christian
Vikings, who've set out on an ambitious quest to travel to Jerusalem and claim
the Holy
Land as their own. But the voyage to the Holy City is a
difficult one, and the Vikings are met with violent resistance, forcing One Eye
to rely on his talents as a warrior to protect himself and his young apprentice.
