The Northman

Based on the Danish epic Gesta Danorum, The Northman is a tale of revenge, family, and bittersweet justice. After seeing his father, King Aurvandill (Ethan Hawke), murdered by the hands of his uncle (Claes Bang), young Prince Amleth (Alexander Skarsgard) flees his homeland. As he rows away from his native shores, he makes a solumn oath to avenge his father, liberate his mother (Nicole Kidman), and kill his tyrant uncle. Now as a man, Amleth is reminded of his oath by a mystic seer (Bjork), and unites with a cunning sorceress (Anya Taylor-Joy) to reap havoc on his uncle's corrupt rule.
