English Summary:

Erik the Viking is a 1989 British comedy-fantasy film written and directed by Terry Jones. The film was inspired by Jones's children's book The Saga of Erik the Viking (1983), but the plot is completely different. Jones also appears in the film as King Arnulf

The film is based largely upon Norse mythology. In the film's opening scene Erik (Tim Robbins), a young Viking, discovers that he has no taste for rape and pillage, and suffers guilt over the death of Helga (Samantha Bond), an innocent woman.

Erik learns from the wise woman Freya (Eartha Kitt) that Fenrir the wolf has swallowed the sun, plunging the world into the age of Ragnarök. Erik resolves to travel to Asgard to petition the gods to end Ragnarök. Freya informs him that to do so he must seek the Horn Resounding in the land of Hy-Brasil. The first note blown upon the Horn will take Erik and his crew to Asgard, the second will awaken the gods, and the third will bring the crew home. Erik sets out with a crew of all ages and professions from his village, including Harald (Freddie Jones), a Christian Missionary who disbelieves in the entire narrative.

Hungarian Summary:

A Monty Python csapat harcosainak vérbő komédiája a könnyed kacagásra mindig kész nézősereget a történelmi hőskorba vezeti. Az istenek elszunnyadtak, a gonosz vígan üli torát. A dermesztő Fekete Vezér (John Cleese) martalócai élén kegyetlenül kizsigereli a Föld didergős népeit. Erik (Tim Robbins), a viking harcos, aki békés természetével kilóg a sorból, elindul kicsiny csapata élén, hogy Atlantiszból megszerezze a csodakürtöt és ébresztőt fújjon az égieknek. Uticéljához érve azonban elsüllyedhet szégyenében - olyan meglepetés vár rá, amitől szó szerint minden a feje tetejére áll...
