A story of two brothers locked in mortal combat, Hawk the Slayer is a powerful action fable about the never-ending struggle between good and evil. Hawk (John Terry – Full Metal Jacket, Lost) is a hero of great strength and courage whose father and fiancé are murdered at the hands of his brother, the evil wizard Voltan (Jack Palance – City Slickers, Shane, Batman). With Hawk’s trusted band of giants, dwarves and witches, he sets forth on an epic adventure to avenge the murders...
Co-starring British actors Bernard Bresslaw, Annette Crosbie, Harry Andrews and Roy Kinnear, this exciting and enthralling tale was co-written and directed by Terry Marcel (Dark Knight) and produced by Harry Robertson (Countess Dracula), who also composed the eighties keyboard soundtrack.
