Beowulf (1999 film)

Beowulf is a 1999 action movie loosely based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf. It has strong fantasy elements and some science fiction elements. It was directed by Graham Baker and the screenplay was written by Mark Leahy and David Chappe. The movie comes from the same producer as Mortal Kombat.

While some of the film remains true to the original poem, other plot elements deviate from the original poem (Hrothgard has an affair with Grendel's mother, and they have a child together, Grendel; Hrothdard's wife commits suicide).
