Outline
Granger, a former Special Forces soldier living in modern-day Vancouver, is sent on a quest to fulfil an ancient prophecy. He is forcibly pulled into a time portal in his home after fighting off a small group of hooded assassins who try to kill him. He finds himself several hundred years in the past, in the forested war-torn Kingdom of Ehb. Granger teams up with an unlikely band of allies, accompanied by a female doctor named Manhattan. His goal is to slay the leader of the “Dark Ones”, a witch known only as the Holy Mother. Fighting against all odds, Granger must free the land from the grasp of the evil tyrant Raven, save the kingdom, and find a way to get back to his own time.

Trivia

- The name of Dolph Lundgren’s character is Granger. Granger is another word for Farmer.
- The name of Statham’s character from the first movie was Farmer, as is the default name of the protagonist from the game Dungeon Siege.
