Red Sonja

An ancient stone of unknown origin provides power beyond control, if it's left to freely generate blinding inconsolable carnage.

Humble priestesses and a learnéd warrior (Arnold Schwarzenegger as Kalidor) have been tasked with its secret care, and ensure it's kept in the static darkness which greatly diminishes its strength.

But a mad Queen (Sandahl Bergman as Queen Gedren) hellbent on conquering and ruling new cities without much fuss, decides she needs the Talisman's power to proceed unchallenged and absolutely.

Her habitual wanton cruelty has earned her many impassioned foes, none more volatile nor intense than the potent nimble sword fighting Sonja (Brigitte Nielsen). 

It is true Sonja has no equal although many have sought her ruin, her family indeed murdered by the wicked Queen who left her forlorn and destitute.

Now she pursues this imposing nemesis with impeccable irate vengeful fury, but with the Talisman's energy invincibly conjuring victory seems an impossibility. 

Even though Gedren possesses enormous wealth she still seeks ubiquitous dominion. 

The Talisman destroying everything meanwhile.

As she recklessly engages unhinged infinity.

Fair play imagines a level playing field upon which there's equal opportunity, should participants desire some sort of prize by engaging in bold competition.

Through their active endeavours people learn to both lose and win, winning gracefully just as important as losing with composed dignity. 

In recent years, however, a lack of good sportspersonship has been promoted, at the highest levels imaginable it's most distressing not to mention abusive.

As Gedren seeks absolute power through the aid of forces far beyond her control, the incomprehensible proves much too independent but she still keeps seeking more.

It's like a mental illness inanimate greed seeking vast limitless power and wealth, the world's destruction inevitably resulting from the voracious envious lack of fair play. 

While Red Sonja and versatile Kalidor sternly adjudicate counterpoised rhetoric. 

It was so peaceful for so very long.

Acerbic acrimonious avarice.
