The action-adventure movie tells the heroic story of the times when Vikings tried to conquer North America by destroying local tribes before Christopher Columbus reached its shores. Wrecked during the storm, a ship became the grave of Vikings and their captives. There was only one survivor, a Viking boy whose unconscious body was washed up on the shore by the powerful waves. Fortunately, the People of the Dawn tribe used various healing remedies to fix the kid up and raised him as their own. Many years later, he grows up into a warrior named Ghost (Karl Urban) and bravely defends his abode against an invasion of ferocious Vikings who, after having plundered great cities of Europe, land on the shores of North America. Despite a mighty legion of his foes, Ghost is unwilling to sheathe the sword and attempts to defeat the usurpers.
