What happens

Erik the Conqueror (Italian: Gli invasori, lit. "The invaders") is a 1961 epic swashbuckling film directed by Mario Bava and starring George Ardisson and Cameron Mitchell as long-lost Viking brothers in the 9th century, one of whom is raised in England, the other in Scandinavia. They finally meet after almost 20 years, as rivals on opposite sides of an English–Viking war. It is a loose remake of the American film The Vikings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
