A WARRIOR Caught in an Epic of Revenge and Magic, Dungeons and Dragons, Wizards and Witches
T he tyrannical Lord Cromwell is ready to do anything to conquer the kingdom of Ehdan, even to resort to black magic.

The 1980s marked the advent of the heroic fantasy genre with the successes of Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian . Released straddling the two films, although benefiting from a much more modest budget, The Wild Sword also marked the spirits thanks to its inventiveness and its know-how rivaling the big Hollywood productions. A masterstroke for rookie filmmaker Albert Pyun ( Cyborg ), The Wild Sword is an action-packed adventure saga that will delight fans of bloody battles, valiant warriors and savage monsters.
