Conan The Barbarian
Conan hit the big screen in 1982 with Conan the Barbarian, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Thulsa Doom, evil ruler of the snake cult of Set, raids a Cimmerian village, decimating most of the populace and selling the rest into slavery, including young Conan. Conan grows up as powerfully-built man and is trained as a fighter, before being granted his freedom. Joined by the thief Valeria, who becomes his lover, and the archer Subotai, Conan conducts an outrageous robbery of one of the cult’s temples in Shadizar. This brings them to the attention of the king who hires them to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the Set cult, something that gives Conan the chance to meet with Thulsa Doom again and avenge the death of his parents.
Robert E. Howard's pulp novel warrior is brought to life in director John Milius' fantasy action adventure. Arnold Schwarzenegger gained worldwide fame as the sword-wielding Barbarian out for revenge against evil sorcerer Thulsa Doom, who enslaved him as a child and destroyed the people of his village. Co-written by Milius and Oliver Stone. Followed by the sequel Conan the Destroyer in 1984.
