WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Set in the mythical land of Valusia, Kull The Conqueror is the story of a dynamic warrior who, through a twist of fate, quickly rises to become king. Hailed by his countrymen as a hero, Kull (Kevin Sorbo) becomes the hated target of corrupt noble relatives who immediately begin plotting his demise. Though he is falling for the slave girl Zareta (Karina Lombard), Kull is bewitched into marriage by the beautiful Akivasha (Tia Carrere), who is actually a 3,000 year-old sorceress who has been resurrected by his enemies to murder him on their wedding night. Narrowly escaping death, Kull is forced to embark on a perilous journey to find the only weapon powerful enough to destroy the forces of evil.
