Story
In 10th century Iceland, young Prince Amleth witnesses his father, King Aurvandil Whitebjorn, being brutally murdered by his uncle Fjolnir. Fjolnir then takes Amleth's mother captive. Twenty years later, Amleth returns home as a Viking warrior seeking revenge for his father's death and to rescue his mother from her brother-in-law.
Summary
Northman is an action-packed adventure film directed by Robert Eggers, set in the grim reality of 10th century Viking culture. The story is a loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy 'Hamlet,' reimagined as a brutal Nordic revenge saga. Centered around fate and family, the movie explores themes of betrayal, vengeance, and psychological disturbance through its violent and gritty narrative.
