A fantastic and bloody sword & sorcery epic, THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER stars Lee Horsley as young Prince Talon, a young man stripped of his rightful inheritance by the evil King Cromwell (Richard Moll) years before when Cromwell slaughtered the young prince's parents and stole his kingdom. However, as his father was dying, he gave the young prince a three bladed sword with which Talon was to avenge his death. Years later, Talon has become a mercenary and has amassed an army with which he plans to take back his kingdom. Unfortunately, Cromwell has resurrected an ancient sorcerer named Xusia who possess powers that will enable Cromwell to take over the world, ensuring that Prince Talon will not easily win his kingdom back. A lavish film filled with a number of astounding action sequences, THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER has deservedly earned a considerable cult following. [More]
