This is a Russian film that takes place about 1100AD in Tmutarakan, located between the Black and Caspian Seas, along the Silk Road. There is a remnant band of Scythians, a very pagan group of mercenaries who worship Ares. The film centers on Lutobar (Aleksey Faddeev) who is the title character. He is a loyal follower of his Lord who is at odds with the Scythians. Lutobar is forced to recuse his kidnapped family, having to undergo many fights and forming an unusual alliance with Marten....seriously, his name is Marten.
On the surface, the film is just another mindless Conan antics. In the end, we discover betrayal that makes it more akin to a Shakespearean play, minus the clever dialogue.
Guide: No swearing. Brief partial nudity. English dubbed and subtitled.
