“Conan the Barbarian” The movie I watched was “Conan the Barbarian”. This movie had several actors such as: Jason Momoa as Conan, Rose Mcgowan as Marique, Rachel Nichols as Tamara, Stephen Lang as Khalar Zym, Ron Perlman as Corin, and Bob Sapp as Ukafa. “Conan the Barbarian” is about a child (Conan) that watched his father (Corin) being murdered from a tribe of people looking for a piece to connect to a symbol so he can rule the world. After his father was killed he became a pirate, set slaves free, and seeked revenge to kill the person who killed his father.
Conan is the son of Corin, chief of a barbarian tribe. Conan is a skilled but violent warrior. One day, their village is attacked by the forces of Khalar Zym, a warlord who wishes to reunite the pieces of the Mask of Acheron in order to revive his dead wife and conquer Hyboria. Thousands of years ago, the Mask, crafted by a group of sorcerers and used to subjugate the world, was broken into many pieces, which were scattered among the barbarian tribes. After locating Corin's piece of the mask, and murdering the entire village, Zym leaves. Conan is the only survivor, and swears revenge.
Years later, Conan has become a pirate, but still seeks revenge. He encounters a slave colony and frees it, killing all of the slave handlers in the process. In the city of Messantia, he encounters Ela-Shan, a thief being chased by a man whom Conan recognizes as Lucius, one of Zym's soldiers from years before. He allows himself to be captured alongside Ela-Shan. Conan escapes imprisonment, kills several of the guards, and confronts Lucius, forcing him to reveal that Zym seeks the pure-blood descendant of the sorcerers of Acheron; sacrificing the descendant will unleash the mask's power. Conan helps the rest of the prisoners to escape, and, in gratitude, Ela-Shan tells Conan that, if he ever needs him, Conan will find him at the City of Thieves, Argalon. Lucius is then killed
