Synopsis:

A hilarious all-star cast--including Tim Robbins and former Monty Pythoners Terry Jones and John Cleese--star in this inspired piece of lunacy, marked by a "funny script packed with typically weird and wonderful characters" (Variety). Written and directed by Jones, "Erik the Viking" delivers that inimitable Python humor and "consistently entertains" (The New York Times).

Ever since he accidentally killed a girl he was just getting to like, Erik (Robbins) has been moody. Fed up with the emptiness of life in the Dark Ages, he leads a quest to wake the gods and bring back the sun . . . and the girl, if she'll have him. But along the way Erik will have to face formidable obstacles, including a dragon with hay fever, tone-deaf islanders who love to sing, and a warlord (Cleese) who likes his ages dark and nasty!
