The Scorpion King 2: Rise of a Warrior (2008)

In the ancient land of Akkad, young Mathayus, son of the esteemed Captain Ashur, is raised amidst the legendary Black Scorpions, an elite bodyguard corps whose reputation echoes across distant courts. Despite his father's firm disapproval, Mathayus harbors an unwavering desire to join this warrior brotherhood. This defiance fuels a deadly feud with the merciless General Sargon, leading to a tragic turn of events where Ashur is murdered and Mathayus is exiled to a bleak training camp by the grace of King Hammurabi. Six years later, Mathayus returns, forged into a formidable Black Scorpio. However, he finds his homeland under the bloody reign of Sargon, who demands a cruel test of loyalty. Resolute, Mathayus rejects the tyrant's demand, transforming from an orphaned knave into a pursued hero. Alongside childhood companions, the cunning Greek Pollux and a band of audacious mercenaries, he embarks on a perilous journey, driven by vengeance and justice. Their mission: to acquire the legendary Sword of Damocles from Astarte, the war-goddess and magical ally of Sargon. As Mathayus delves into the Underworld with his childhood friend Layla and the poetic Greek Ari, he is faced with challenges that test his strength, courage, and the depths of his resolve. In this epic tale of revenge and honor, can Mathayus overthrow Sargon's reign of terror and avenge his father's death, thereby marking the rise of a new warrior king? The fate of Akkad hangs in the balance as the would-be Scorpion King battles against the shadows of the Underworld and the horrors of a tyrant's rule.
