Iron Lord (DVD)

Russian war epic set at the turn of the eleventh century as Prince Yaroslav (Aleksandr Ivashkevich) attempts to bring order to a land of thieving and lawlessness. Yaroslav, son of Grand Prince Vladimir, the ruler of Kiev, is sent to rule one of the principality's most remote regions, Rostov, at a mere eleven years old. As the young prince comes of age with the aid of the local boyars, Yaroslav attempts to take firmer control of a region beset by warring tribes, forest bandits and traders selling slaves down the Volga. It is clear that it will take an exceptionally strong figure to bring order to the situation and unify the kingdom.
