Beowulf is a 1999 American science fantasy-action film loosely based on the Old English epic poem Beowulf. The film was directed by Graham Baker and written by Mark Leahy and David Chappe, and comes from the same producer as Mortal Kombat, which also starred Lambert.

Plot

The setting is a post-industrial castle that defends the border of an unnamed kingdom. It is terrorized by a creature named Grendel, who kills the castle's defenders, one by one. The stronghold is also besieged by a band of warriors who are attempting to quarantine it. After fighting his way past the besiegers, the warrior Beowulf offers his help to the castle's "border lord", Hrothgar, who welcomes his help.
