Tonight's movie is The 13th Warrior (1999). It gets some bad reviews, but it has a 6.6 rating on IMDb and I really enjoy it. It's based on Michael Crichton's book "Eaters of the Dead."
A man, sent by the sultan on a diplomatic mission to a distant land as an ambassador, finds himself unwittingly embroiled in a quest to banish a mysterious threat in a distant Viking land.
It stars Antonio Banderas, Omar Sharif, Dennis Storhøi, Vladimir Kulich, Diane Venora, Tony Curran, & Richard Bremmer.
Directed by John McTiernan.
Fantastic soundtrack by Maestro Jerry Goldsmith!
