Review Summary

John Terry plays Hawk. Jack Palance plays Voltan. The two are brothers who have gone their separate ways. Hawk once had a beautiful wife, who Voltan killed in a jealous rage. Just before she died, she attacked Voltan with a burning stick, permanently disfiguring him and forcing him to wear a mask. Later, Voltan kills their father. On his deathbed, he gives Hawk a magic sword, empowered by an Elfen stone that glows. This gives him the ability to use his mind against his enemy. And this time his enemy is his own brother. Voltan feels the sword is his birthright. He attacks a monastery and kidnaps a girl for ransom to lure Hawk to his lair. Hawk gets the help of his friends, the Elf, the Dwarf, and the Giant, and is aided by the One-Armed Man.
