BEOWULF

"So the story goes, King Hrothgar (Hopkins) and his people are being terrorized by the horrific monster Grendel (Glover). Hrothgar puts out a call to any brave man who can come and slay the monster. Enter Beowulf (Winstone) and his brave band of soldiers. Beowulf is a mighty warrior, and he quickly dispatches Grendel, but in doing so he enrages Grendel's mother (Jolie). Beowulf journeys out to lay waste to Grendel's mother as well, but soon finds his resolve tested by great temptation. His choice ultimately brings about a new curse - one far worse than Grendel - and he must live with regret, until the day finally comes when he is given a chance for redemption."
