A prequel to the 2002 prequel that follows the standard how-a-legend-is-born template. Young Mathayus witnesses his father's murder at the hands of evil warlord Sargon (Couture). He hones his body and fighting skills until the adult Mathayus (Copon) can get his revenge on the man, who is now king. There's also a sword-wielding, leather-clad babe (David), who takes up with our hero, and a sorceress hottie (Becker) on the bad guy's side.
