Beowulf minden harcos közül a legerősebb, a leghatalmasabb és a legvakmerőbb. Hírét veszi, hogy a gonosz Grendel megtámadta a dánok ősi szentélyét, és lemészárolta az ott élőket. Hrotgar király jutalmat ígér annak, aki legyőzi a fenevadat. A dicsőségre éhes harcos elvállalja a megbízást, hogy leszámol az emberevő óriással. Rajta kívül nincs emberfia, aki szembe merne szállni a vérszomjas szörnyeteggel. Ám az igazi megpróbáltatás csak ezután következik. A kegyetlen Grendel legyőzése után annak csábító, démoni erővel bíró anyjával is meg kell küzdenie. (port.hu)

Borzalmas szörnyeteg tizedeli Hrothgar dán király embereit. A hír hallatára Beowulf, a hõs gaut harcos a társaival, régi barátja, a király segítségére siet. A baljóslatú jelek ellenére megküzd a szörnyeteggel, és végül sikerül is megölnie. Hamarosan azonban a szörny anyja, a tengeri boszorkány bosszút áll fiáért. Beowulf a boszorkánnyal is végez, ám ekkor egy kisfiú, Grendel, a meggyilkolt emberevõ szörnyeteg fia bukkan fel. Ám Beowulf az ártatlan gyermeket nem tudja megölni.

Sötét kastély áll valahol a jövőben. Vagy a múltban? A nyolcadik századbeli szász epikus költemény képezi a fantasztikus történet alapját. Seregek veszik körül a kastély falait, senki sem távozhat élve. Furcsa lovag töri át a gyűrűt és kínálja fel segítségét a védőknek: Beowulf a neve. Éjjelente megtámadja a kastélyt egy emberevő szörnyeteg, Grendel. Beowulf az egyetlen, aki élve megússza támadását, sőt sebet is ejt a szörny testén. Saját sebei pedig hamarabb gyógyulnak, mint a többi emberé. A kastély bizalmatlan ura és lánya számára lassan nyilvánvaló, hogy csak Beowulf segédletével győzhetik le Grendelt és a gonosz erőket...

Film adaptation of the earliest known poem in the English language (written in the 8th century) which examines the ancient and heroic tradition from which the feudal system started to grow. The film, as in the poem, is an elegy lamenting the not only the reality of a lost heroic tradition, but also the loss of innocence which made possible its unquestioning acceptance.

This documentary goes beyond the text of the epic poem and examines the history behind its writing. With interviews and travels in Europe, BEOWULF AND THE ANGLO-SAXONS dives into the culture of the people who created the classic myth. This title also explores the warrior society of the ancient people. Miraculously preserved over the centuries, its artistic importance was unrecognized until an essay by J. R. R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings) revealed its unity and multi-dimensional structure. Beowulf is now regarded as the most important manuscript the Anglo-Saxons have handed down to us, of immense linguistic as well as poetic value. This program sets out to trace the origins of the tribes that brought this epic into being, the war-like Norsemen from Sweden, Denmark and Germany who were to conquer and settle regions of a more clement and fertile island that would become known as England, named after the tribe of the Angles.

Two interconnected individuals react differently following the expulsion of a mischievous student in this interpretation of Beowulf.

Flawed heroes, sympathetic monsters and haughty professors collide as this hefty poem is rescued from the grasp of 1,000 years of highbrow analysis and transformed into a defiantly raucous musical. Presented by San Francisco's infamous Shotgun Players and New York's infectious Banana Bag & Bodice, this new SongPlay is an irreverent dissertation on art versus criticism in blood-soaked Scandinavia.
