The
film begins with a young Cimmerian boy, Conan, witnessing the
destruction of his village and the death of his parents at the hand of
warlord Thulsa Doom. The battle standard carried by the invaders, two
snakes facing each other over a black sun, is burned into the memory of
young Conan. Sold into slavery, Conan eventually grows strong enough to
fight as a gladiator. His owner sees such potential that he takes Conan
to the far East to be trained by warriors. After many successful
fights, his owner spontaneously sets him free. Conan dedicates his life
to exacting revenge on Thulsa Doom.
