Originally broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel as Dark Kingdom—the Dragon King, Sword of Xanten is director Uli Edel’s take on the Volsung Saga. Starring Benno Führman (Siegfried), Kristanna Loken (a very sexy Brunnhild), Max von Sydow (Evyind), Alicia Witt (Kriemhild) and Julian Sands (Hagen), the production team didn’t hold back on special effects, spectacle, lavish costumes, giants and a fearsome dragon. This is the unedited version of the film with a running time of approximately 3 hours. This film has been released world-wide under many titles including: Curse of the Ring, Die Niebelungen—Der Flucht des Drachen, La saga dei Nibelunghi, Kingdom in Twilight and The Ring.
(PG-13 – violence & brief sexuality)
