The Northman plunges viewers into a brutal, mythic world of revenge, destiny, and survival.

Set in 10th-century Scandinavia, the film tells the gripping tale of Amleth, a young Viking prince who witnesses the brutal murder of his father, King Aurvandil, at the hands of his treacherous uncle, Fjölnir. Forced to flee his homeland, Amleth grows into a fierce and ruthless warrior, driven by an unyielding vow: “I will avenge you, Father. I will save you, Mother. I will kill you, Fjölnir.”

Years later, Amleth’s quest leads him to Iceland, where Fjölnir has established a remote farmstead. Disguised as a slave, Amleth infiltrates his uncle’s domain, biding his time and forging alliances, including a complex and passionate connection with Olga, a mysterious and determined woman with her own agenda. As Amleth edges closer to his long-awaited revenge, he grapples with haunting prophecies, the weight of his lineage, and the dark truths of his mission.

Directed by Robert Eggers, The Northman is a visceral, visually stunning epic that blends historical authenticity with Norse mythology. With breathtaking battle sequences and a brooding, primal intensity, it explores themes of vengeance, honor, and the cyclical nature of violence. Amleth’s journey is a relentless, soul-stirring odyssey that leaves audiences questioning the price of destiny and the cost of vengeance.
