Profile of Conan the Barbarian

The mood of Conan the Barbarian is stylized, rough, and exciting. The plot centers around a master warrior, an obsessive quest, and good versus evil. It is an action, adventure, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, Conan the Barbarian is epic, includes a voice over, and is gory. In approach, it is fantastical and serious. It happens in ancient times. The musical score of Conan the Barbarian is orchestral. It is adapted from a comic. The movie is known for being a cult favorite, an award winner, and critically acclaimed. Conan the Barbarian is especially suggested for a boys' night. Note that it includes strong violent content, nudity, and profanity.

Summary of Conan the Barbarian

Orphaned boy Conan (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is enslaved after his village is destroyed by the forces of vicious necromancer Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), and is compelled to push "The Wheel of Pain" for many years. Once he reaches adulthood, Conan sets off across the prehistoric landscape of the Hyborian Age in search of the man who killed his family and stole his father's sword. With beautiful warrior Valeria (Sandahl Bergman) and archer Subotai (Gerry Lopez), he faces a supernatural evil.

TV Guide

A series of meaningless adventures punctuated with a lot of clanky, very bloody swordplay, Conan the Barbarian is best remembered for a scene in which Schwarzenegger punches out a camel. Full Review

The New York Times

Conan the Barbarian is an extremely long, frequently incoherent, ineptly staged adventure-fantasy set in a prehistoric past. Full Review
