STORYLINE
In 895 AD, King Aurvandill coming back to the island of Hrafnsey after his foreign wars, reuniting with his wife, Queen Gudrún, and his successor, Prince Amleth. To make Amleth for his eventual rise, the two participate in a sacred ceremony managed by Aurvandill's jester, Heimir. The next morning, Aurvandill's bastard brother Fjölnir killings the king, attacks his hillfort, and carries away Gudrún. Amleth flees by boat, swearing vengeance.
Years later, Amleth lives as a berserker with a group of Vikings. After an attack in Gardariki, Amleth encounters a Seeress in the temple of Svetovit; the Seeress prophesies that Amleth will soon take revenge on Fjölnir, and that his path is intertwined with a Maiden-King. Amleth learns that Fjölnir was defeated by Harald of Norway and lives in exile in Iceland. Posing as a slave, Amleth sneaks aboard a ship. He faces a Slavic woman named Olga, who claims to be a sorceress. They are taken to Fjölnir's farm, where he learns his mother has married Fjölnir and bore him a son named Gunnar.
One night, Amleth meets a magician who facilitates a spiritual conversation between Amleth and the late Heimir, discovered to have been murdered by Fjölnir. He then tells Amleth about Draugr, a magical sword at the Gates of Hel. Amleth enters a mound and obtains the blade after fighting the undead Mound Dweller. He hides it upon return to the farm. The next day, Amleth is selected to challenge in a game of knattleikr against another farm. The game turns violent and Gunnar is almost killed, but Amleth saves him. As a souvenir, Fjölnir's adult son, Thorir, awards him overseer duties and grants him to choose a woman.
During the evening celebrations, Amleth and Olga make love; they promise to killed Fjölnir together. Amleth kills several of Fjölnir's men, and Olga mingles their food with fly agaric, a potent hallucinogen. The ensuing chaos and the suspicion that the Christian slaves are behind the killings allow Amleth to enter Fjölnir's house. He sees his mother, who tells that she was originally taken into slavery and that Amleth's belief was the result of rape. She reveals that she wanted Aurvandill and Amleth dead; she tries but fails to seduce Amleth. Enraged, Amleth kills Thorir and steals his heart.
Gudrún exposes Amleth's true identity to Fjölnir, and calls for him to kill him. Fjölnir menaces to kill Olga, but Amleth offers to trade Olga's life for Thorir's heart. After a severe fighting, Amleth is released from his restraints by a flock of ravens. Olga rescues Amleth and the two escapes by boat. Amleth has a vision and discovers that Olga is pregnant with twins, one of whom will become the Maiden-King prophesied by the Seeress. Fearing that his children will never be safe, Amleth decides to kill his uncle and jumps overboard, despite Olga's pleas.
Back at the ranch, Amleth frees the slaves and kills most of Fjölnir's men. While searching for Fjölnir, Amleth is attacked by his mother and drives Draugr through her heart. Gunnar attacks Amleth, stabbing him repeatedly in the back before Amleth kills him. Fjölnir, discovering his wife and son dead, tells Amleth to meet him at the Gates of Hel—the crater of the volcano Hekla—to resolve the conflict via holmgang. At the volcano, Amleth and Fjölnir engage in a fierce swordfight; Fjölnir is decapitated, and Amleth is fatally wounded. As Amleth lies dying, he has a future vision of Olga embracing their twin children, before a valkyrie appears to carry him through the gates of Valhöll (Valhalla).
