101 Films presents the the legendary Albert Pyuns debut feature The Sword and the Sorcerer (1982) available in the UK on 4K UHD & Blu-ray for the first time. Released at the height of the swashbuckling fantasy craze of the 1980s, the Sword and the Sorcerer was a box office success despite its poor critical reception, launching the career of B-movie icon Albert Pyun. Criminally underseen compared to some of its contemporaries, this epic adventure has all the bloody battles, valiant warriors, fair maidens and savage sorcerers to more than justify its place among the fantasy classics of the decade.

Meet Talon, a daring mercenary who conquers castles and dungeons alike with his lethal three-bladed sword. But when Talon learns that he is the prince of a kingdom controlled by an evil sorcerer, he is thrust into the wildest fight of his life. Can Talon rescue the beautiful princess and slay the warlock, or will he fall prey to the black magic of medieval mayhem? Lee Horsley (Matt Houston, The Hateful Eight), Kathleen Beller (Dynasty), Simon MacCorkindale (Jaws 3-D) and Richard Moll (House) star in this action-packed adventure saga, filled with brutal battles, plucky maidens, savage monsters and more!
