Prince of Jutland

"His quest for vengeance... may cost him everything."

Feb 23 1994 R 1h 43m
Adventure, Drama

A Danish prince seeks revenge upon the villain who killed the king and his son to usurp the throne.

Plot

This re-telling of Hamlet goes back to the original Danish source material. The opening scenario remains the same: Hamlet's father murdered by his brother who then weds the widowed mother. Hamlet must discover his strength and leadership that will allow him to regain his rightful throne. Don't expect an ending which matches the Bard's though, this is more like a true Viking epic.
