Plot The world of Krull is invaded by an evil alien entity known as The Beast and his army of Slayers, who travel the galaxy in the mountain-like spaceship, the Black Fortress. Prince Colwyn and Princess Lyssa decide to marry and form an alliance between their rival kingdoms in the hope that together their combined forces will be strong enough to defeat the Beast and his armies. It was foretold that Lyssa, who had an ancient name, would bear a child destined to rule the galaxy. The Beast, intent on ensuring it came true to his satisfaction, had his Slayers attack on the wedding day. As part of the ceremony, Princess Lyssa places fire into water and it is extinguished. As she does this she says, "I place fire into water. It will only return in the hand of the man I love." This fire will later be important in the finale. The castle of Lyssa's father, King Eirig (Bernard Archard), is destroyed, the Kings are murdered, the human armies protecting the castle are devastated, and the princess is kidnapped and taken to the Black Fortress. Bernard Archard (born 20 August 1916 in London) is an English actor. ...
Colwyn, the only survivor of the attack, sets out to rescue his bride under the guidance of Ynyr the Old One (Freddie Jones). His first task is to find the Glaive, an ancient and magical weapon (not to be confused with the actual polearm) that he must retrieve from a lava cave high in the mountain peaks. Next, he must learn the location of the Black Fortress, which teleports to a new location on the planet at sunrise every day. On his journey he is joined by a cowardly shapeshifting magician, Ergo "the Magnificent" (David Battley), the cyclops Rell (Bernard Bresslaw), and Torquil (Alun Armstrong), the leader of a band of ten escaped convicts that includes Kegan (a young Liam Neeson), Rhun (Robbie Coltrane) and Oswyn (Todd Carty in his feature film debut). Colwyn enlists the convicts' aid, as his armies have already been slaughtered by the Slayers. He offers them their freedom as reward for their service.

They are also aided by the blind prophet, the Emerald Seer (John Welsh), with his young apprentice Titch (Graham McGrath) in the attempt to find the Black Fortress, which teleports to a different location on a daily basis. However, the Beast manages to have the Emerald Seer disposed of before he can reveal his location, forcing Ynyr to see the Widow of the Web (Francesca Annis) for aid at the cost of his life. The Widow of the Web is an enchantress who loved Ynyr long ago and whose terrible crime exiled her to live within the lair of a giant spider. With the information given by a dying Ynyr, Colwyn and his group have only until the next sunrise to find the Black Fortress, defeat the Slayers, vanquish The Beast, rescue Lyssa, and save their world.
