Ilya Muromets (Russian: Илья Муромец), known in the US as The Sword and the Dragon and in the UK as both The Epic Hero and the Beast (released in 1959) and The Sword and The Dragon (released in 1963) (significantly altered versions), is a Soviet fantasy film directed by the noted fantasy director Aleksandr Ptushko, made at Mosfilm and released in 1956. It is based on the byliny tales of the bogatyrIlya Muromets.

Plot[edit]

In medieval Russia, the aging giant bogatyr Svyatogor gives his sword to some traveling pilgrims to be passed on to a new bogatyr. Svyatogor and his horse become a mountain as he dies. Meanwhile, Asiatic pagans known as the Tugars are ravaging and pillaging the land. They raid the village where the bearded and robust Ilya Muromets lives and capture his future wife Vassilisa. Ilya is unable to defend her because his legs haven't worked since childhood. A man called Mishatychka caught by the Tugars pleads to serve them if they spare him, and promises to be a double agent for them. The pilgrims with Svyatogor's sword come upon the house of Ilya Muromets and cure his ailment with a magical potion and a magical song. They also give him the sword. Later on, he decides to leave his family to go on an epic journey in order to defend Kiev from the Tugars. For this purpose he is given a foal by a neighbour (Mikula Selyaninovich) which magically grows into a steed in three days. He passes by some woods and is confronted by a forest-dwelling monster known as Nightingale the Robber who blows wind so hard it parts the forest backward; Ilya defeats him by throwing a cudgel at him.

Meanwhile, in the capital Kiev, a peasant named Razumey stands trial before KnyazVladimir the Fair Sun, for cutting trees without permission. Upon hearing that Razumey's purpose was designing and building weapons to use against the enemy, Vladimir releases him and provides him with wood to continue the work.

Ilya arrives in Kiev and presents the forest monster to Knyaz Vladimir, who is impressed with his deeds. Ilya becomes part of a bogatyr brotherhood with two other bogatyrs Dobrynya Nikitich and Alyosha Popovich. A Tugar envoy arrives in the city, a huge zeppelin-like man on a massive moving platform, who warns the Knyaz to give a tribute for twelve years in advance and they will be spared. Ilya replies by insulting the ambassador, and, when he throws a sword at Ilya, throwing it back into the ambassador's stomach, cutting him down while the envoy runs off. Ilya leaves Kiev and finds Vassilisa captured by three Tugars and releases her. After a while Ilya departs from the pregnant Vassilisa to fight the Turgars. Upon leaving he expresses his wish for her to bear a son, to be called Sokolnichek (Little Falcon), who will become a heroic warrior.

Unfortunately Vassilisa is abducted again by the Tugars. Mishatychka has become an important adviser to the knyaz and he tricks the knyaz into believing that Ilya is disloyal to him. Ilya is imprisoned in the castle's dungeons where he will eventually spend ten years deprived of food by Mishatychka. Disgusted, Nikitich and Popovich leave the knyaz's court. Mishatychka attempts to send the dungeon key to Kalin, but instead, it falls into Razumey's hands. Vassilisa has born a son, Sokolnichek, while in captivity of Tsar Kalin, the Tugar Khan. Kalin adopts Sokolnichek as his own son and has him trained as a mighty Tugar warrior. The huge Tugar army sets up camp outside the city of Kiev, demanding an enormous ransom (700 carts of gold) to be given to Kalin in order for the city to be spared. Ilya is released, having survived on food provided by a magic table cloth that Vassilisa had woven previously. Mishatychka the traitor is rooted out and ordered to be boiled in pitch, while Vladimir calls out for all the Rus' warriors to assemble for a battle the Tugar hordes. Nikitich and Popovich, hearing of Ilya's release, hurry back into Kiev. Due to the reinforcements being slow to arrive, Ilya hatches a plan to trick Kalin by using torn sacks and broken carts to create the impression that all of the gold being paid as tribute fell out during transport, and then make Kalin think the warriors tried to keep the treasure for themselves. After they warriors give Kalin the treasure (their own jewelry), the king demands to give him Ilya as well. Ilya sends people to Kiev, and they naturally come back empty handed. Kalin then promises to depart if Ilya is delivered. Ilya reveals himself to Kalin who feels insulted by this deception, captures Ilya and decides to attack Kiev anyway; Ilya escapes and goes back to Kiev. With all the aforementioned manipulations, enough time has passed for the Rus' armies to arrive.

Sokolnichek is now a strong Tugar warrior who is sent to fight Ilya. While they duel, Ilya sees the ring on his son's finger and reveals his true heritage to him. Abashed, he joins his father's side and goes to free Vassilisa, together with all the Russians held captive by Kalin. Nikitich and Popovich each lead one army with Ilya leading the center army toward the Tugar hordes and Vladimir with his personal guard stands ready as reserve. The Khan orders a massive pyramid to be made out of human bodies so that he can survey the forthcoming battle. An arrow is shot from inside Kiev by a large ballista designed and operated by Razumey, causing Kalin to tumble down. Angry, Kalin orders to release the three-headed dragon, Zmey Gorynych, to help in the fight. Another arrow from the ballista hits the dragon in the wing, forcing it to fight on the ground. More of the Russian soldiers land from ships from a nearby river and fight the fire-breathing dragon, eventually slaying it. The Tugar hordes are routed and Kalin captured. The victorious Ilya is finally reunited with Vassilisa and offered a place at the court and a title by Vladimir, but declines in order to be with his wife and go on other journeys. He gives the title and his sword to his son, who continues the heroic lineage.

Production history[edit]

  • Roger Corman re-edited this film in the early 1960s for US release, changing many names: Nightingale the Robber being changed to Wind Demon, Svyatogor being changed to Invincor, Gorynych the Serpent being changed to Zuma the Fire Dragon, Dobrynya becoming Durbar, and the Khan becoming Khalin. This version featured narration by Mike Wallace[2] and the voice of the Khan was dubbed by well-known voice actor Paul Frees[citation needed]. Corman's version of the film was featured as an episode on Mystery Science Theater 3000 as The Sword and the Dragon. Presumably because of its strong resemblance to the Russo-Finnish co-production Sampo, which they used in its American version 'The Day the Earth Froze', the staff of MST3K mistook the film's nation of origin to be Finland, and filled the episode with jokes about the Finnish.
  • The first Soviet movie filmed in CinemaScope with a 4-track Stereo soundmix.

Susu gives birth to a son, and they name him Wuji in the memory of Xie Xun's son Xie Wuji. After ten years, Cuishan, Susu, and young Wuji leave the island without Xie Xun due to his choice to stay on the island and they return to the mainland. Upon reaching the mainland, they journey to Wudang. During the journey, Wuji is captured by one of the Xuan Ming Elders. Cuishan and Susu arrive at Wudang. Daiyan somehow recognizes Susu's voice. Cuishan takes responsibility for the many murders committed by Susu in the past and kills himself in front of multiple sects. Sanfeng and Susu rescue Wuji, then Susu kills herself. Wuji collapses because he is poisoned by the toxic chill of the Xuan Ming Divine Palm.

The soldiers forced Zhirou's father to tell them the whereabouts of Chang Yuchun but he told them he doesn't know. Sanfeng arrives to save the day, but it was too late for Zhiruo's father and he dies. Yuchun brings Wuji to see Divine Physician Hu Qingniu. Qingniu does not want to treat Wuji's cold chill.

The Zhu family tricks him to reveal Xie Xun's location. Wuji jumps off a cliff to and Mr. Zhu saves him. Both of them are alive but they are trapped on a small ledge. Wuji crawls through a narrow tunnel and later removes the Nine Yang Divine manual from an old ape and he masters it. Nine Yang Divine Skill allows Wuji to cure his cold poison.

Mr. Zhu kicks Wuji off the ledge. Wuji lands in a house and accidentally broke both his legs. Zhu'er helps him. Zhu'er attacks Jiu Zhen with her spider poison. At that time, Emei disciples are guests at Jiu Zhen's home. Emei disciples capture Zhu'er and Wuji.

Zhu'er and Wuji escape, but the attempt is short-lived. Emei disciples bring Zhu'er and Wuji as prisoners on their way to Bright Peak to exterminate Ming Cult. Wuji has an opportunity to privately speak to Zhiruo when looking for a herb.

Wuji receives three very powerful punches from Miejue to save the lives and limbs of Ming Cult prisoners. Shuo Bude captures Wuji and brings him to the throne room. Wuji saves Ming Cult from extermination and reluctantly becomes the head of Ming Cult.

Wuji and Ming Cult folks set out to bring Xie Xun from the remote island. On the way, they come across the sixth brother with all joints broken. The Ming Cult people go to Shao Lin and it is very strange that nobody is there. Wuji rushes to Wu Dang to save Wu Dang from extermination. Wuji uses Taiji Fist and Taiji Swordplay on the Mongolian princess Zhao Min's people.

Heaven Sword And The Dragon Sabre

Zhao Min captures and keeps the six sects in Wan An Si. Ming Cult and a spy within Zhao Min's people save the six sects. Miejue refuses to accept Wuji's help and plunges to her death.

When Emei disciples discuss whether Zhiruo or Minjun must be the next head, Golden Flower Granny captures Zhiruo and brings her to Divine Snake Island. Zhao Min uses a trick to ensure that she and Wuji are on the same ship as Jinhua Popo. On Divine Snake Island, Wuji delays his reunion with Xie Xun. Persian Ming Cult attacks Jinhua Popo. It ends with Xiao Zhao and her mother leaving for Persia with Persian Ming Cult people.

One morning, Wuji wakes up very late and notices that Zhu'er is dead, and he realizes that Zhao Min and the dragon saber are missing. Wuji, Xie Xun, and Zhiruo return to the mainland.

Mo Shenggu sees Qingshu's attempts to rape Zhiruo and tries to kill him. It results in his own death.

Sword And Dragon Sabre 2019

At Youliang's urging, Qingshu tries to poison Sanfeng but he stops at the last minute. He is banished from Wu Dang.

Zhao Min lures Wuji away from his own wedding with Zhiruo.

All sects go to Shao Lin for an event. Zhiruo almost kills Wuji and emerges as the champion.

Zhao Min's father surrounds Shao Lin to exterminate all the sects. Zhiruo gives the Book of Wumu to Wuji. Wuji wins a few battles, but the tide turns after Zhao Min's death by her father. While everyone's fate depends on Wuji, he ignores them and mourns at Zhao Min's tombstone. Many people die, including Qingshu, Minjun, Yin Tianzheng, Xie Xun, many different cult disciples, and many soldiers. Shao Lin's siege finally ends when the Ming Cult army from Hao Zhou arrives.

It is revealed that Zhao Min is not dead after all. Her brother convinces her father to spare her and sends her back to Mongolia. But she returns for Zhang Wuji as she tells him she can't live without him. Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min finally meet her father and her brother for a peace treaty. The meeting goes well until Zhao Min's father was assassinated by Zhu Yuanzheng. Zhao Min leaves Zhang Wuji when he chooses his country over her despite him saying that he still cares for her and vows to go to Mongolia and find her, no matter what.

The Ming Cult army has recovered most of China, and Yuan emperor Toghon Temür flees to Eurasian Steppe, where the Yuan remnants establish the Northern Yuan dynasty. Wuji, not wanting to be a sovereign for fear of being corrupted by power, chooses to remain in a righteous path, and charges his followers to carry on being China's protectors against tyranny, injustice, and other threats. (Off-screen, Zhu Yuanzhang, having earned a heroic reputation that rivals Wuji's from his battles against the Yuan forces, won support from his subordinates and allies, and becomes the Ming dynasty's founder, the Hongwu Emperor).

In Mongolia, Wuji finally gets to be together with Zhao Min.
