His target, the evil Thulsa Doom [James Earl Jones], head of a malign and powerful snake cult. His companions - Subotai the Mongol [Gerry Lopez] and the beautiful Queen of Thieves [Sandahl Bergman] who attempts to steal his heart. Muscleman Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Conan in this spectacular cinematic treatment of Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan', from supreme master of the bizarre and mysterious-director John [Apocalypse Now] Milius.
