[1] The movie introduces Sangraal, son of king Ator, whose realm and people are destroyed by evil warlord Nantuk.

Meanwhile, the warlord - who has assumed kinghood after Ator's fall - has angered the Goddess of Fire and Death, to whom he owes his power and whose cult he leads.

Nantuk sends out more men to destroy the village sheltering Sangraal, and has his troops murder everyone while the captured and crucified protagonist must watch.

The journey ahead is dangerous, even without Nantuk's servants and their ambushes, but the trio is able to overcome all the obstacles and escape the traps set up for them.

Despite getting captured several times, Sangraal finally manages to find the shrine Rudak had mentioned, which contains a powerful, magical crossbow.
