What happens

Pathfinder (sometimes subtitled Legend of the Ghost Warrior) is a 2007 American historical action film directed and co-produced by Marcus Nispel, written by Laeta Kalogridis, and starring Karl Urban, Moon Bloodgood, Russell Means, Ralf Moeller and Clancy Brown. Loosely based on the 1987 Norwegian film Pathfinder, the film is set in the Viking Age, during the Norse colonization of North America. It follows a Norse man named Ghost, who was adopted by local Skrælings (Native Americans) as a boy and becomes a warrior for the tribe. The film was released in the United States by 20th Century Fox on April 13, 2007. It was poorly received and was a commercial failure, grossing $30.8 million on a budget of $45 million; it managed another estimated $22 million in DVD sales. Pathfinder was also adapted into a graphic novel by Dark Horse Comics, which was released a year before the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
