Conan the Barbarian (1982)
As a young boy, Conan is enslaved after his parents are killed and his tribe destroyed by a savage warlord and sorcerer, Thulsa Doom. When he grows up he becomes a fearless, invincible fighter, free and ready to take revenge. This fantasy adventure stars James Earl Jones (Star Wars), Max von Sydow (The Exorcist), and Arnold Schwarzenegger (in his breakthrough role) as the eponymous hero.
