 Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of Pathfinder for 31st July 2007. Shrouded in the mists of legend of a time when Vikings tried to conquer North America, Pathfinder tells the story of a young Norse boy left behind after his clan shipwrecks on the Eastern shores. Despite his lineage, the boy is raised by the very Indians his kinsmen set out to destroy. Now, as the Vikings return to stage another barbaric raid, the 25-year-old Norse warrior (Karl Urban), facing a personal war between those who sired him and those who raised him, the reluctant hero takes up arms against the war-mongering barbarian hordes, leaving a trail of vengeful devastation in his wake.
Directed by Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake) from a script by Laeta Kalogridis (Night Watch) the film also stars Moon Bloodgood (Eight Below), Russell Means (Last Of The Mohicans) and Clancy Brown (Highlander) as the leader of the invading Norse warriors.
