Pathfinder (2007)

During the Dark Ages, a raiding party of Vikings led by an unnamed "great Viking warrior" arrived in the Americas with the intention of plunder and colonizing the "cursed" land. In so doing they planned on slaughtering a local Native American tribe, the "Thule" or "Skræling" as the Vikings call them are considered inferior, primitive and true savages and they wish to "cleanse" the land before they settle there. Whilst slaughtering a native village, the Viking leader asks his son, only a twelve year-old boy, to join in on the carnage, and the boy refuses, and in return the boy is beaten and whipped. After their longboat is shipwrecked the Vikings are caught unaware and attacked by another native tribe, the Wampanoag, who call themselves the "People of The Dawn", and are massacred themselves. The sole survivor is the traumatized blonde-haired boy who was the son of the Viking leader, and who is discovered in the wreckage amongst slain Viking slaves and taken in by a native woman who adopts him as her own son after seeing a white horse by the wreck - there is a prophecy that a "creature swift of foot and white as snow" would bring about a time of great change. The boy is named "Ghost" by the People of The Dawn, many of whom struggle to accept him because of his similarity to the paleness of the other "Dragon People"; "demons who have never seen the sun".

Fifteen years later Ghost (Karl Urban) still lives among them yet remains tormented by his dreams, which along with his different appearance to the other tribesmen, interfere with his ability to fully assimilate into the native community. Ghost is frustrated that the others do not trust him, many considering him an outsider, and despairs that he will never be considered a Brave of The People. Also Ghost has feelings for a young woman from an allied tribe named Starfire (Moon Bloodgood), the daughter of Pathfinder (Russell Means), an elderly chieftain searching for a worthy successor after the next intended Pathfinder has been killed in an avalanche. Ghost is the only person capable of using a sword as he is still in possession of his father's Viking sword and still trains with it; the native tribe have not yet developed metalworking.

Whilst hunting and gathering with the group, Ghost's adopted sister wanders off and encounters a scouting party for a new group of Viking raiders, and is attacked. She escapes back to the village but the Vikings follow her back there. They raze the village and murder nearly everyone with delight, except a few tribesmen whom they want to combat individually in "duels". Ghost arrives back at the village too late to save the villagers and sees his adoptive father murdered by Gunnar (Clancy Brown), the Viking leader. The Vikings are bemused as to Ghost's Viking-like appearance, yet decide that he may be less of a "primitive" who can handle a sword and more of a challenge because of this, and so make Ghost duel nonetheless. Ghost's opponent, Ulfar (Ralf Möller), is taken unaware by Ghost's ability to use a sword, as swords are unknown to the natives, and Ghost maims Ulfar by cutting out his eye, and escapes. Injured by an arrow during the pursuit and escaping by riding his shield down a snowy mountainside, Ghost hides in a cave where he is found by the allied tribe's hunting party. They bring him home, and the warriors discuss taking the initiative against the Viking invaders. Ghost, however, informs them of the savagery and ferocity of the "Dragon People", who are said to be demons incarnate. Ghost warns them that their wood and stone weapons are no match for the metal armour and blades of the Vikings. Ghost advises the villagers that their only chance of survival is to flee, and he departs to take on the Vikings alone.

He finds that he has been covertly followed by a mute admirer. In an abandoned village, they set a series of traps. Starfire, meanwhile, has chosen to leave the tribe and finds Ghost and his colleague. The three kill the Vikings off individually, stealing armor and weapons. Pathfinder, like his daughter, also finds Ghost and joins the fight. The hunting party of the tribesmen accidentally set off one of Ghost's traps themselves, and are massacred by the Vikings. Eventually, both the mute and Pathfinder are executed in brutal fashion, and Ghost and Starfire are captured. Gunnar recognizes Ghost as the son of a Viking, and tells Ghost that he knew of his father and admired him as a great warrior. The Vikings threaten to torture Starfire if Ghost will not betray the location of other villages, so Ghost agrees to help the Vikings.

Having gained the Vikings' trust, Ghost leads them along a dangerous mountainside pass through the Appalachian Mountains and convinces Gunnar that the Vikings be tied together to reduce the risk of members falling off the narrow ledge on the high cliff. Using a sling, Ghost then creates a domino effect so the entire string of Vikings falls over the cliff, all tied together: only Gunnar cuts himself free in time, coldly killing his lieutenant Ulfar in the process. After a duel on the precipice with Gunnar, Ghost deals him a fatal blow, leaving him hanging over the cliff edge, held only by the necklace Gunnar took from Pathfinder. Gunnar begs for death by the sword, as to Gunnar death by the sword is the only honorable way for a Viking to die (perhaps to gain entry to Valhalla in accordance with Viking beliefs), and pleads for such a mercy to Ghost by saying he is the last of his kind in the land. Ghost replies "You are not my kind", and instead of granting him an honorable sendoff by the sword, Ghost breaks the necklace, sending Gunnar plummeting to an ignominious demise.

Ghost returns to Starfire with Pathfinder's necklace, thus making Starfire the new Pathfinder after her father. Starfire gives birth to a blonde-haired son. Ghost assumes his position as the Coast Watcher, bravest of their tribe, charged with watching over the coast in case the Vikings ever return.
