After a swarm of enchanted scorpions kills his father, Mathayus (Michael Copon) flees and vows to even the score with ruthless sorcerer Sargon (Randy Couture). Upon returning home after years of combat training, Mathayus finds that Sargon has seized the crown and protected himself with a powerful spell. To retrieve the only weapon capable of destroying the tyrant -- a mystical sword -- Mathayus and lady warrior Layla (Karen David) set off for a labyrinth guarded by a deadly Minotaur.
