Beowulf is a wanderer who learns about a man-eating creature called Grendel, which comes in the night to devour warriors trapped at the Outpost. The Outpost is ruled by Hrothgar. He has a daughter, whose husband may have been murdered by the Outpost's master of arms.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This came out the same year as The 13th Warrior, another Beowulf-adjacent flop that actually rules. 1999 was cursed for Old English heroes.
Lambert was still riding Highlander fumes here—this film basically asks 'what if Connor MacLeod fought a demon in a rave warehouse?'
