The film begins with a young Cimmerian boy, Conan, witnessing the destruction of his village and the death of his parents at the hand of warlord Thulsa Doom. The battle standard carried by the invaders, two snakes facing each other over a black sun, is burned into the memory of young Conan. Sold into slavery, Conan eventually grows strong enough to fight as a gladiator. His owner sees such potential that he takes Conan to the far East to be trained by warriors. After many successful fights, his owner spontaneously sets him free. Conan dedicates his life to exacting revenge on Thulsa Doom.
