In a land before the dawn of time, an evil tyrant has seized control over the kingdom of Cimmeria, whose people now live in fear of their brutal ruler. Only one man can save them now; he is the ultimate barbarian hero, Conan, who leads his ragtag army consisting of a dwarf, a mute, and a panther-like martial artist against a host of villains, dark wizards and malevolent creatures. He also negotiates the realm of love with the beautiful bandit queen Karella, whose conflicted emotions result in a love-hate relationship with Conan that nonetheless remains always passionate. Based on the novel by Robert E. Howard which was later turned into a favorite Marvel comic book series, this fantasy takes its audience on a journey to uncharted lands of spectacular battles and dazzling magic.
