Action. Drama. War In the year 1206 Norway is raged by civil war. The King's illegitimate infant son, Håkon Håkonsson, which half the kingdom wants killed off, is guarded in secrecy by two men. A story which changed the course of the country's history.

	Author	Review
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"It's an iconic tale for Norwegians and the inspiration of the annual Birkebeiner ski race, but a dud with scant dramatic zing or star quality. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"The dynamic ski chases are the most exciting, not to mention novel, element of this medieval epic, although there's plenty of fighting with swords, axes, crossbows, and bows and arrows as well."	POS
