Red Sonja (2025)

In her childhood, Sonja (Matilda Lutz) is orphaned, separated from her tribe and grows up to become a guardian of the ancient Hyrkanian forest. She travels its vastness with just her horse for company, looking for any remnants of the tribe with no success.

Having conquered all the other lands, Emperor Dragan's (Robert Sheehan) minions turn to the forest to fell the trees for lumber to build the Empire's growing cities. They are also there to look for Hyrkania's ancient secrets, which the Emperor jealously covets.

Sonja attempts to fight them but is overpowered and sent to fight in the great gladiatorial arena in the capital.
