“Valhalla Rising” is a dramatic adventure of a mute and nameless warrior, known under the nickname One Eye. Characterized by his cruelty and unsurpassed talent to fight and kill, One Eye becomes a slave to a wealthy Scotsman Barde, who uses the warrior’s skills in his own fights. Although One Eye is not loyal to his master. One day he takes his chance and kills Barde and his numerous hirelings. Since that time the fierce warrior becomes the master himself and the owner of Barde’s properties. Being still mute, One Eye hires a young apprentice, who talks on his behalf, when it is necessary to keep a dialog.

Soon the warrior decides to join the company of Christian Vikings and leave Denmark. The plans of their voyage are very ambitious: the warriors are going to Jerusalem to conquer the Holy Land. But suddenly they meet with a resounding rebuff there. Realizing it is not an easy task to obtain the Holy Land, One Eye and his apprentice have to rely upon their own abilities, experience and fighting skills to stay alive in this terrible fight to the last drop of blood.

Representing the hard mix of action, drama and adventure, the film “Valhalla Rising” was directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and based on his own scenario.
