The Hexer

A heroic fantasy based on the famous novels by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski, "The Sword of Destiny" and "The Last Wish". This film immerses us in a world inhabited by kings and knights, princesses and sorcerers, priests and magicians, where fire-breathing dragons guard untold treasures, and human greed leads to an endless struggle for power, cruelty, bloodshed, and violence. And this world has its own superheroes - fearless witchers, people with magical powers. Their mission is to protect the human race from any misfortune. The witcher Geralt of Rivia must find the young princess Ciri, kidnapped by enemies. Only her return to the small kingdom of Cintra, which was attacked by aggressors, can restore peace and order there. The brave witcher sets off on a journey, long, distant and deadly.

Directed by Marek Brodzki, The Hexer leans on a strong ensemble — Michał Żebrowski, Zbigniew Zamachowski, Maciej Kozłowski — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2001.
