Ilya Muromets
Eye-Filling Spectacle! Man Against Monsters! The Largest Cast Ever Used in a Motion Picture! A cast of 106,000! 11,000 horses!
A grand, visually spectacular sword-and-sorcery epic about a miraculous hero's rise to defend his people against dark forces, built on spectacle and heroic adventure rather than psychological depth.
Paralyzed since birth, Ilya can only watch helplessly as his village is plundered by barbarians. But when a mysterious traveler arrives with a magic elixir that restores him to full health, Ilya begins an adventure to protect the village and the royal family from harm.
