A horde of rampaging warriors massacre the parents of young Conan and enslave the young child for years on The Wheel of Pain. As the sole survivor of the childhood massacre, Conan is released from slavery and taught the ancient arts of fighting. Transforming himself into a killing machine, Conan travels into the wilderness to seek vengeance on Thulsa Doom, the man responsible for killing his family. In the wilderness, Conan takes up with the thieves Valeria and Subotai. The group comes upon King Osric, who wants the trio of warriors to help rescue his daughter who has joined Doom in the hills.
This movie contains 37 potentially triggering events.
After brandishing a weapon, Conan kills a group of dogs hunting him; this happens offscreen after 29:37, but in the next scene from 29:47 onwards he is wearing their fur.
Two male characters have a discussion about it. After one of their comradies die, one is shown crying and the other asks why. The first responds that Conan will not cry so he cries for him.
Horses were harmed and mistreated in real life, using banned practices like tripping, and placing them in unsafe conditions around steep hills, sharp pikes, and horrendous heat. American Humane Society was even kept from the set in Spain, but they still received enough reports from the set to label it Unacceptable.
A giant snake is killed at 46:20 to 47:17; the body is shown again at 47:37 to 47:44. Its death is also later discussed in the latter half of the film. A vulture is killed by Conan at 1:17:10 to 1:17:30.
Conan punches a camel at 39:45-39:55, a pig is mishandled and squealing at 51:55-52:09, and a rat is kicked at 43:38-43:41. During fight scenes with cavalry, horses are tripped.
Dead, skinned animals appear in some scenes around campfires. While Conan is in the city, he eats whole lizards on sticks at 37:50 to 38:00, and then again later in the film.
There is a rape and/or sex scene between two slaves. Conan is a slave gladiator and he is rewarded with a slave girl he doesnt talk much to just kind of grabs and throws the blanket over.
The only LGBT character is a cult priest. Conan flirts with him in order to get him alone, then knocks him unconscious and steals his clothes, but presumably he doesn't die.
A woman is raped from 21:39-22:58. Consensual sex occurs several times throughout the film, at 32:45, again at 50:00, and there is an orgy at 1:30:11. People are often scantily clad and breasts are seen frequently.
