Adapted from the Anglo-Saxon epic poem, Beowulf, BEOWULF & GRENDEL is a grandly staged medieval adventure that tells the blood-soaked tale of a Norse warrior's battle against the great and murderous troll, Grendel. The monster, Grendel, is not a creature of mythic powers, but one of flesh and blood - immense flesh and raging blood, driven by a vengeance from being wronged, while Beowulf, a victorious soldier in his own right, has become increasingly troubled by the hero-myth rising up around his exploits. Beowulf's willingness to kill on behalf of King Hrothgar wavers when it becomes clear that the King is more responsible for the troll's rampages than was first apparent. Starring Gerard Butler.
