With her village utterly destroyed by rampaging Huns, a young girl named "Tanya" (Chelo Alonso) is taken by the leader of the tribe, "Igor" (Folco Lulli) and essentially raised as his daughter. But rather than being just any ordinary woman Tanya wants to be a warrior and because of this she is trained in archery and allowed to ride with the rest of the warriors. Unfortunately, not all of the men approve and her most vocal critics are Igor's son, "Timur" (Mario Petri) and the chief of a rival clan, "Malok" (Jacques Sernas). Ironically, when Igor is killed and Timur thought dead, it is Malok who helps Tanya become the chief of her tribe. But Malok has ulterior motives. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that it turned out to be an okay "Sword & Sandal" movie for the most part with Chelo Alonso certainly being the main attraction. Frankly, I thought some scenes could have used a bit more excitement and the ending was somewhat pretentious but that's just my opinion. In short, while it may not be a good movie I didn't think it was necessarily that bad either and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly below average.
