Story Synopsis

The Vikings is an old fashioned Hollywood action adventure based on the novel by Edison Marshall about the early years of Erik the Red. Released in 1958, the flamboyant saga stars Kirk Douglas as Einar, a hot-tempered rebellious Viking Prince who competes viciously with his enslaved half-brother and heir to the English throne (Tony Curtis) for the Viking glory of love and leadership. The Vikings is an elaborately staged production of raids and sword fights enhanced with magnificent panoramas of the Norwegian fjords and the Brittany and French coasts, all lending to the film’s classic essence.
