Red Sonja is a 1985 American sword-and-sorcery film directed by Richard Fleischer, and written by Clive Exton and George MacDonald Fraser. It is based on Red Sonya of Rogatino by Robert E. Howard.
The film introduces Brigitte Nielsen as the title character, with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sandahl Bergman, Paul Smith and Ronald Lacey in supporting roles. As in Howard's Conan, Red Sonja takes place in the Hyborian Age, a fictional prehistoric time previously depicted in the films Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Conan the Destroyer (1984). It tells the story of Sonja, who, after being raped, receives a divine gift and seeks revenge on her assailants.
