Ragnorak is a legendary sequence of events detailed in Norse mythology that is also dubbed 'Doom of the Gods' and is thought to be the Scandinavian version of the apocalypse. It is the occurrence of several natural disasters and also includes a great battle between the most powerful Gods including Odin, Thor and Loki. Archaeologists are struggling to find meaning behind the legend but Sigurd Svenden thinks he may be able to find an answer as he uncovers some ancient runes hidden aboard the Oseberg viking ship. With an adventure in mind, he takes a group of college archaeologists and his two children on a voyage of discovery to Finnmark, Norway. He plans to travel through 'No Man's Land' between Norway and Russia to unearth the runes' mysteries, but he has no idea what's he getting himself into - a colossal sea monster being just the very tip of the iceberg.
Originally titled 'Gåten Ragnarok', this Norwegian action adventure movie has been directed by Mikkel Brænne Sandemose ('Cold Prey 3') and written by John Kåre Raake in his filmmaking debut. Having first been released in Norway in Autumn 2013, 'Ragnarok' will hit cinemas in the UK on August 15th 2014.
