the 13th warrior (1999)

"the 13th man must be no northman."
In AD 922, a arab poet (Antonio Banderas) accompanies some viking warriors back to their homeland, as they are begged to help stop the 'eaters of the dead' from decimating their villages.
A film that flopped at the box office, is actually a fine thriller based in part on the epic tale Beowulf.
