Mortal (Norwegian: Torden) is a 2020 fantasy action film co-written and directed by André Øvredal.

Somewhere in the Norwegian wilderness Eric (Nat Wolff) awakes from a nightmare that causes the trees outside his tent to burn to cinders.

After treating his wounds in a gas station bathroom, he begins walking down the road, presumably back to his campsite.

Christine (Iben Akerlie), a young psychologist, is asked by the local police to speak with Eric, where she learns he is an American-Norwegian who is also a suspect in an unsolved fire that took the lives of five people three years ago.

The U.S. Embassy arrives to take Eric to America, but he refuses to speak to anyone other than Christine and demands they sedate him to fly in a helicopter.

A thunderstorm causes the helicopter to crash into the sea, where Eric realizes that he can breathe in the water and burns his restraints away.

In the middle of the bridge Eric submits and Christine is captured, but he draws upon the lightning, losing control.

Eric is told it is time for him to go into the cave where he is drawn to a box of stone which contains Thor's glove Járngreipr, his belt Megingjörð, and his hammer Mjölnir.

Enraged, Eric uses the hammer to summon a massive lightning storm that engulfs the area, causing a large number of casualties.
