"When gods are hunted and names are erased, one man chooses to become a legend no cross can silence."
Redbad (2018) isn’t your typical historical epic. It’s a wild, blood-soaked saga carved in mud, betrayal, and torn convictions. Set in the 8th century across the raw, frostbitten North, the film tells the story of Redbad — a prince of Frisia betrayed, cast adrift like a criminal, and reborn not merely to reclaim a throne… but to fight for the very soul of his people.
As the Frankish Empire expands, bearing the Cross and the iron discipline of conquest, the northern tribes face an ultimatum: kneel and survive — or stand with their gods and die free. Redbad chooses a third path: the path of resistance — of blood, fire, rebellion, and sacrifice. Raised by wandering Vikings, he learns to battle not only with steel, but with cunning, resolve, and the fire of ancestral pride — something no scripture can erase.
The film unfolds like a war hymn: battles lost in the mist, firelight flickering across faces tattooed by ancient rites, and the stare of a man who knows the greatest enemy is not a foreign army — but a people forgetting who they are. Redbad does not fight to win. He fights to be remembered — as the one who would not bow.
Redbad (2018) is steeped in Norse mythology and defiance — where death is not defeat, but proof of a life that never knelt.
