A horrifying army of animal-like warriors known as the Krugs has been sent by Gallian to pillage and destroy any villages in their path as they rampage across the land on their way to the King. The life of a simple family man named Farmer Daimon (Jason Statham) is changed forever when the Krugs invade his peaceful community. After they murder his son and kidnap his wife Solana (Claire Forlani), Farmer is determined to take vengeance. Together with his old friend Norick (Ron Perlman) and a sorcerer named Merick (John Rhys-Davies), he sets out on a momentous journey to get his wife back.
