Chapter 1: The Fall of a Prince
The icy winds of Scandinavia howl as young Prince Amleth watches his father, King Aurvandil (Ethan Hawke), return from battle. The kingdom rejoices, but darkness lurks in the shadows. Aurvandil’s brother, Fjölnir (Claes Bang), betrays him, cutting him down in cold blood before Amleth’s eyes.
Fjölnir seizes the throne and takes Amleth’s mother, Queen Gudrún (Nicole Kidman), as his own. With his dying breath, King Aurvandil whispers to Amleth: “Avenge me, save your mother, kill Fjölnir.”
Amleth barely escapes, rowing into the misty sea as Fjölnir’s warriors burn his home.
Chapter 2: The Wolf Becomes a Beast
Years pass. The boy who fled is now a feral Viking berserker (Alexander Skarsgård), raiding villages with a band of marauders. His body is scarred, his heart filled with hate. One night, a mysterious Seeress (Björk) reminds him of his oath: “You are the wolf. The beast of blood and death.”
Amleth learns Fjölnir now rules a remote farm in Iceland. Disguised as a slave, he boards a ship, his mind set on vengeance.
Chapter 3: The Serpent’s Path
In Iceland, Amleth meets Olga (Anya Taylor-Joy), a cunning Slavic sorceress enslaved by Fjölnir. She sees through his disguise but joins his quest. Together, they plot Fjölnir’s downfall, using poison and witchcraft to weaken his household.
But when Amleth confronts his mother, Gudrún, he learns a terrible truth—she was no victim. “I wanted him dead,” she hisses. “I wanted you gone.”
Chapter 4: The Final Reckoning
Betrayed and enraged, Amleth embraces his fate. In a blazing, blood-soaked battle, he storms Fjölnir’s stronghold. The two clash in a savage duel on a volcano, their swords ringing under the fiery sky.
Wounded but relentless, Amleth fulfills his oath, slaying Fjölnir before collapsing into the molten earth. As he dies, Valkyries carry his spirit to Valhalla—his vengeance complete.
Olga, now free, sails away with Amleth’s unborn son, ensuring his bloodline lives on.
