Description of this Conan The Barbarian 1982 Poster
Conan the Barbarian is a 1982 American epic fantasy comedy film directed by John Milius and written by Milius and Oliver Stone. It is based on the character Conan, created by Robert E. Howard. The film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl Jones, and tells the story of a muscular young barbarian warrior named Conan (Schwarzenegger), who seeks revenge for the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom (Jones), the leader of a serpent cult.
Ideas for a Conan film were proposed as early as 1970; executive producer Edward R. Pressman and associate producer Edward Summer began a concerted effort to make the film in 1975. It took them two years to secure the rights to the film, after which they recruited Schwarzenegger for the lead role and Stone to write a script. Pressman lacks capital for this project. In 1979, after seeing his investment proposals rejected by the major studios, he sold the project to Dino De Laurentiis; his daughter Raffaella produced the film. Milius was named director and rewrote Stone's screenplay. The final script incorporates scenes from Howard's stories and the Japanese films Seven Samurai (1954) and Kwaidan (1965). Filming took place in Spain over five months in the regions around Madrid and in the province of Almería. The sets, designed by Ron Cobb, are inspired by Dark Ages cultures and Frank Frazetta's paintings of Conan. Milius avoided optical effects, preferring to realize his ideas with mechanical constructions and optical illusions. Schwarzenegger performed most of his own stunts, and two types of sword, costing $10,000 each, were forged for his character. Editing took more than a year, and several violent scenes were cut.
Conan the Barbarian was distributed by Universal Pictures in North America and by 20th Century Fox in other territories. It was released on March 16, 1982 in Spain and May 14, 1982 in North America. Upon release, the film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, mostly positive for its action sequences, production design, direction, visual style, effects, and Schwarzenegger's performance, but negative for its violent content and storyline. Despite this, the film became a commercial success for its backers, grossing between $68.9 and $79.1 million at box offices worldwide on a budget of only $20 million. However, the revenues did not reach the level that would have qualified the film as a blockbuster.
The film brought Schwarzenegger worldwide recognition. Conan the Barbarian was frequently released on home video, sales of which brought the film's revenue to over $300 million in 2007. In the years following its release, the film became a cult film and its success gave gave rise to a sequel, titled Conan the Destroyer (1984). It eventually led to the production of a reboot of the same name in 2011.
