Fathom Events and Universal Pictures Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of "Conan the Barbarian"

The epic sword and sorcery film returns to cinemas for Two Nights Only
December 12 and 13

DENVER, Nov. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fathom Events and Universal Pictures are bringing the original action-packed epic adventure "Conan the Barbarian" back to movie theaters for a two-night engagement this December.

VIEW TRAILER HERE.

Following his parents' savage murder, young Conan (Schwarzenegger) is captured by the cold-blooded Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) and spends the next fifteen years in agony, first chained to the Wheel of Pain and then enslaved as a Pit Fighter. Rather than allowing this brutal fate to conquer him, Conan builds an incomparable body and an indomitable spirit—both of which he needs when he suddenly finds himself a free man.

Aided by his companions Subotai the Mongol (Gerry Lopez) and Valeria, Queen of Thieves (Sandahl Bergman), Conan sets out to solve the "riddle of steel," seize ultimate power and, finally, take revenge on the warlord who killed his family.

Directed by John Milius and co-written by Milius and Oliver Stone, the 1982 film earned Arnold Schwarzenegger worldwide acclaim.

Tickets to the "Conan the Barbarian 40^th Anniversary" can be purchased online at www.fathomevents.com or at participating theater box offices.
