A tiny village is destroyed by a surging glacier, which serves as the deadly domain for the evil Ice Lord Nekron. The only survivor is a young warrior - Larn - who vows to avenge this act of destruction! However, the evil continues, as Nekron's palace of ice heads straight towards 'Fire Keep' - the great fortress ruled the good King Jarol. When Jarol's beautiful daughter Teegra is abducted by Nekron's subhuman creatures, Larn begins a daring search for her! What results is a tense animated battle between good and evil, surrounded by the mythical elements of the ancient past!
This movie is based on the art of Frank Frazetta's , the mythical fantasy illustrator. Some of the characters are straight out of his paintings (the Death Dealer being the best example). Surprisingly, the animation manages to keep the feeling of the original art. Bakshi is well known for his heavy use of rotoscope (the technique of tracing a live action sequence) and this film is no exception. However, since the subject of the movie is quite realistic (all characters are humans), this works pretty well.
