A high-energy sword-and-sorcery action romp set in ancient Egypt, driven by spectacle and combat rather than emotional depth or moral complexity.
In ancient Egypt, peasant Mathayus is hired to exact revenge on the powerful Memnon and the sorceress Cassandra, who are ready to overtake Balthazar's village. Amid betrayals, thieves, abductions and more, Mathayus strives to bring justice to his complicated world.
