Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the original action-packed epic adventure Conan the Barbarian. 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.

A horde of rampaging warriors massacre the parents of young Conan and enslave the young child for years on The Wheel of Pain. As the sole survivor of the childhood massacre, Conan is released from slavery and taught the ancient arts of fighting. Transforming himself into a killing machine, Conan travels into the wilderness to seek vengeance on Thulsa Doom, the man responsible for killing his family. In the wilderness, Conan takes up with the thieves Valeria and Subotai. The group comes upon King Osric, who wants the trio of warriors to help rescue his daughter who has joined Doom in the hills.

Arnold's BestMaybe Arnold became popular playing robots and commandos, but Conan is actually his most human, relatable character. While Conan is on a quest for revenge, he obviously values his friends and those pleasurable moments between sword fights. His journey from child, to slave, to warrior is reminiscent of Ben-Hur, but with enough fantasy and high adventure to make it great macho escapism. If you are torn between getting this movie or the Terminator, I say get Conan. It has more heart..William-BScore: 5/5

Conan the BarbarianI never really realized what a terrible actor Ahnuld is until I viewed this film. It just kind of hit me like one of his weapons. I did enjoy the story and the special effects that were available when this film was produced. James Earl Jones is very good as the bloodthirsty villain..Head MaroonScore: 3/5

FINALLY ON ITUNES! A MASTERPIECE of the time and the genre and a star-making performance by Arnold.This is like reviewing Robocop or Star Wars. It's a classic and anyone with a clue knows it. The score, the action and the personality of this film are bad to the bone. Inspiring, brutal and endlessly entertaining. Just awesome..Reise, ReiseScore: 5/5

This is the censored version;This is the censored version of Conan, The Barbarian. They reduced the length of the orgy scene, they dubbed in "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." over the part where he was a slave, and they were giving him a concubine -- and they removed the scene, at the end with the Princess kneeling at his feet -- and carrying her off after he had killed Thulsa Doom. They also did not include the death of king Ozric, or anything else.

Best music ever. This movie has it all.I used to consider this a guilty pleasure because no one believed me when I said this movie was one of the best. It's so great to finally be able to watch it anytime I wish and find others that agree. Don't pass it up because you have preconceived ideas about what it's about. Fighting for the guys, love story for women.... it's all there..Sandi WLSScore: 5/5

Greatest Movie Ever!CROM!.Scholpp666Score: 5/5

Ahead of it's TimeConan the Barbarian is one of the greatest fantasy films of all time. It's not true to the source material in a technical sense, but rather a spiritual one. The characters of the film are essentially based off arch types Robert Howard used when he originally wrote the short stories of Conan. Much of the dialogue is either in reference or directly taken from Howard's work. This film could have been horrible. The producer originally wanted it filled with pop music and family entertainment. But the director knew that that just isn't Conan. Conan is the very model of the anti-hero: He doesn't hold true to any ideals or moralities. He does what he does for blood and revenge, which makes this a fantastically refreshing film. James Earl Jones also makes for a very iconic villain, leading a religious cult that worships snakes. Though his character, Thulsa Doom, isn't a cannon character in Conan's world at all, he is still a compelling character made so by an actor who chose to take his role seriously. But if it becomes available on iTunes...don't bother with the sequel, Conan the Destroyer. The original director was not involved, and unlike this masterpiece, it was made as a family film(and not a very good one)..SlithsScore: 5/5

Cool & awesome!!Its kind of funny to know that after Arnold was finished with this movie, the director for the remake was struggling to get an actor who could be better than Arnold. By Crom this is a good movie!!.Benji1g23Score: 5/5
