OUTLANDER

Outlander begins when a spacecraft tears through the atmosphere and streaks across the sky, crashing into a Norwegian fjord in 709AD. From the wreckage emerges Kainan, a soldier from a faraway planet, and a deadly alien stowaway called a Moorwen. Before he has a chance to track down the alien, Kainan, the Outlander, is captured by a Viking warrior and held prisoner in the local village led by King Rothgar. Man and monster both seek revenge for violence committed against them. As the Moorwen ravages the Viking lands, killing everything in its path, Kainan forms an alliance with the primitive but fierce warriors. Whilst trying to hunt for the Moorwen, war brews among the Vikings, which culminates in both sides taking immense losses. As the enemy Vikings retreat into the forest, the Moorwen strikes leaving the Vikings no choice but to run for help to their former foes. Together, the two sides attempt to destroy the Moorwen. The village takes massive casualties, including both of the tribal kings. With the warriors demoralised, most of the Vikings leave the village in search of a new home and safety. Kainan and the remaining warriors stand together to destroy the Moorwen. Kainan assists the Vikings by salvaging pieces of his crashed spacecraft and forging weapons capable of harming the creature. After a harrowing journey, the Vikings and Kainan confront the Moorwen in caves under the village where it is finally defeated. Kainan then destroys a homing beacon he set after his ship crash-landed, deciding to remain on Earth as King of the tribe rather than return to his home planet. He marries Freya, a Viking princess.
