About Red Sonja

Red Sonja is a 1985 American sword-and-sorcery film directed by Richard Fleischer, from a screenplay by Clive Exton and George MacDonald Fraser. It is based on Red Sonya of Rogatino by Robert E. Howard. It stars Brigitte Nielsen (in her film debut) as the title character and Arnold Schwarzenegger as her companion Lord Kalidor, with Sandahl Bergman, Paul Smith and Ronald Lacey in supporting roles. As in Howard's Conan, Red Sonja takes place in the Hyborian Age, a fictional prehistoric time previously depicted in the films Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Conan the Destroyer (1984), which featured several of the same cast and crew. It tells the story of Sonja, who, after being raped, receives a divine gift and seeks revenge on her assailants. Red Sonja was theatrically released in the United States on July 3, 1985, by MGM/UA Entertainment Co. Upon release, the film was a critical and commercial failure, grossing $6.9 million against a budget of $17.9 million.
