Programme Information

John Milius's sword-and-sorcery fantasy is based on the works of Robert E. Howard, king of the pulp fiction explosion of the inter-War years. The orphaned and enslaved Conan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, vows vengeance on Thulas Doom, the slayer of his family. En route, he picks up the requisite strange companions before confronting Doom and, in the process, saving the captured princess whose father is suitably grateful.
