Our 80s Sword and Sorcery series continues with Krull, Peter Yates’ 1983 science fantasy favorite!
Set in a magical world under siege by an evil alien overlord known as the Beast, the film follows Prince Colwyn (Ken Marshall). Embarking on a daring quest after his bride, Princess Lyssa (Lysette Anthony) is kidnapped by the Beast’s forces, Colwyn journeys to the villain’s fortress to rescue her. Armed with the legendary weapon called the Glaive, a mystical, star-shaped blade, the prince gathers an eclectic band of companions, including a wise seer, a comical thief (Alun Armstrong), and a skilled cyclops warrior (Bernard Bresslaw). Together, they traverse breathtaking landscapes, confront deadly traps, and battle monstrous creatures in their journey to defeat the Beast and restore peace to the planet.
Noted for its ambitious special effects, imaginative world-building, and James Horner’s soaring musical score, Krull has become a beloved cult classic among fans of 1980s fantasy cinema.
