The mask was broken into many pieces and scattered across the lands. Set in the distant past of the Hyborian Age, the story revolves around the Mask of Acheron, a Cool Mask made of the bones of kings, which in the even more distant past let the necromancers of Acheron take over the world - except for the barbarian tribes who combined to overthrow their empire. ![]() Of course, true to its pulp origins, the movie has a lot of blood and some nudity and is extremely Sword and Sorcery.

It is directed by Marcus Nispel ( Pathfinder (2007), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)). It stars Jason Momoa as Conan, Rachel Nichols as the Love Interest Tamara, and Stephen Lang and Rose McGowan as the villains Khalar Zym and Marique. ![]() Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 film featuring Conan of Cimmeria, the classic Barbarian Hero created by pulp writer Robert E. ![]()
