Red Sonja

1985 · 89 min

A cheesy, colourful sword-and-sorcery romp with clunky effects, broad humour and plenty of swashbuckling that is easy to enjoy and easy to mock.

Tagline: A woman and a warrior that became a legend.
Overview: The tyrant Gedren seeks the total power in a world of barbarism. She raids the city Hablac and kills the keeper of a talisman that gives her great power. Red Sonja, sister of the keeper, sets out with her magic sword to overthrow Gedren.
How it feels: Campy, light, earnest and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Revenge, survival, power, identity
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
