‘The Beastmaster’ Movie Synopsis

The evil cult leader Maax uses magic and hired mercenaries to take the Kingdom of Aruk from King Zed. Afraid of a prophecy that the King’s first-born son will grow up and kill him, Maax orders his witches to kill the unborn child. However, the child is saved by a stranger who raises the boy as his own. As the boy, now known as Dar, grows, he finds that he can speak to animals. After Dar’s village is wiped out by the Jun army under the control of Maax, Dar decides to return to the city to seek his vengeance.
