''Outlander'' is a 2008 American science fiction action film directed by Howard McCain and starring James Caviezel. The plot is loosely based on ''Beowulf'', adapted to a science-fiction backstory involving a spaceship crashing in Iron Age Norway. The film was a box-office failure, grossing USD 7 million compared to a budget estimated at USD 47 million. ==Plot== A spacecraft crashes in a lake in Vendel-era Norway. On board is an alien monster, the Moorwen, and the "outlander", Kainan, who activates a distress signal and sets out to trace the Moorwen, which had stowed away on his ship and caused the crash. Kainan is captured by a local chieftain, Wulfric and held prisoner by king Hrothgar. The Moorwen attacks Hrothgar's hall, killing several men. Believing the attack being due to a bear, Hrothgar goes on a bear hunt, on which Kainan saves the king's life. The Moorwen ravages the countryside, and causes a war as one king Gunnar misinterprets an attack on his village as a hostile action by Hrothgar. Gunnar assaults Hrothgar, who is again saved by Kainan. Retreating from the attack, Gunnar's men are attacked by the Moorwen and forced to seek alliance with Hrothgar. In an attempt to trap Moorwen and its newly born offspring, many of the Norsemen are killed, including both kings. The survivors retreat, with Kainan and Wulfric staying behind the Moorwen, eventually defeating it in a cave. Fatally injured, Wulfric transfers the kingship to Kainan. Just as a rescue ship is approaching, Kainan deactivates his distress signal, opting to remain on earth. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Outlander (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
