Synopsis by Maggie Sadler

In the tenth century, heir to the Icelandic Viking throne Amleth (Alexander Skarsgård) embarks on a bloodlust-fueled quest to track down and slay his treacherous uncle Fjölnir (Claes Bang) after his uncle's betrayal years prior, which left Amleth's beloved father (Ethan Hawke) murdered. Robert Eggers co-writes and directs the historical epic co-starring Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Björk, and Willem Dafoe.
