“This epic begins many years ago when an ambitious young man steals forbidden knowledge from a sacred plant and, as he falls to its darker temptations, unleashes ages of suffering onto mankind,” the official description reads. “As his power grows over the years, there are many who stand against him. Among them are a daring tomb-robber, star-crossed lovers, a maniacal necromancer, winged assassins, and an undying guardian.”
Inspired by the classic animated films of Ralph Bakshi and Frank Franzetta, the film takes viewers into an ultra-violent, hand-rotoscoped world of dark magic, intrigue and epic battles.
