About the Film:
Based on the 10th century Anglo-Saxon poem written in Old English, Beowulf:
Prince of the Geats, is a film about a man who leads a band of warriors across
many lands and waters to repay his father’s debt. This man, Beowulf, is a prince
amongst his people and a conqueror to any an all enemies that cross his path. As
he fights both internal and external battles, the prince is consumed by his
unquenchable desire to rid the land of evil and find peace within himself.
In the 12th year of being terrorized by the monstrous giant, Grendel, King Hrothgar
of the Danes is paid a visit by the young prince and his 12 Geat warriors. As
repayment, Beowulf vows to the King of the Danes that he will no longer be tormented
by the evil Grendel and therefore would clear his conscience of what’s owed by his
family.
A battle of epic proportions ensues and we learn just how monstrous and evil Grendel
is. We also learn of other evils that are lurking around the dark Danish waters and
what that spells for the 12 Geat warriors and our hero, Beowulf: Prince of the Geats.
