So when signs tell Dakkar that such a son has been born, he sends his troops out to round up all newborn babies. However, a sage named Griba spirits Ator away and puts him in the care of a peasant couple. Ator grows up undetected, but just as he's marrying his foster sister Sunya, Dakkar's troops suss him out and slaughter his whole village while kidnapping Sunya. Griba trains Ator to fight and sends him to rescue his wife with his father's sword. Along the way, Ator gets captured by an Amazonian tribe, picks up an ass-kicking female ally named Roon, is seduced by a sorceress (played by erotic film star Laura Gemser), and flees a pack of zombies before finally facing off with his enemy.

!!''Ator, the Fighting Eagle'' contains examples of:
*EightiesHair: Although the film seems to take place in the distant past (or maybe the distant future), Ator's hair wouldn't be out of place in a glam-metal band.
*ActionGirl: Roon seems to be a better fighter than anyone else in the movie, including Ator much of the time.
*AllAmazonsWantHercules: Roon's all-female tribe is so fierce that they kill men after mating with them, but she nonetheless slowly falls for Ator.
*AncestralWeapon: Ator gains the Sword of Toran, i.e. his father.
*BarBrawl: Roon starts one when she steals the purse of a madam in a tavern.
*BelligerentSexualTension: Ator and Roon are pretty distrustful of one another, which isn't surprising since her tribe tried to rape and murder him. But there's clearly an attraction going on anyway, though it's downplayed due to Ator's attachment to Sunya.
*BirthmarkOfDestiny: Ator has one on his shoulder indicating that he's the prophesied son of Toran, though Griba hides it with some sort of magic powder so he can't be identified.
*BrotherSisterIncest: Sort of. Ator and Sunya grow up believing that they're blood siblings, making things awkward when they fall in love. Curiously enough, when Ator talks to their father about this he mentions that sibling marriages were acceptable sometime in the past. That perhaps explains why no one seems especially creeped out by the fact that the two fell in love while they still ''thought'' they were siblings.
*CaughtInASnare: The Amazonian tribe captures Ator when he trips a falling net snare.
*ChosenOne: Ator was prophesied from before his birth to be the one who takes down the spider cult.
*CoolSword: The scene where Ator picks up the Sword of Toran is played to make the sword seem as cool as possible, throwing out light onto Ator's face.
*DamselInDistress: Ator finds Sunya trapped in a giant web about to be eaten by the Ancient One.
*DiedInYourArmsTonight: [[spoiler:Roon dies in Ator's arms after her fight with Dakkar's mooks.]]
*DisabilitySuperpower: Roon explains that the blind warriors who work in the temple's smithy have a highly developed sense of smell, so she and Ator have to disguise their odors before going in.
*DistressedDude: Ator has to be rescued no fewer than three times by Roon, first when her tribe captures him, then from the sorceress, then from his LivingShadow.
*TheDulcineaEffect: When Ator sees three men chasing and attacking a lovely young woman, he springs to the rescue, only to find out that they were after her because she had stolen from them. Worse, as he finds out later, she's actually part of an all-female tribe that kills men after sleeping with them.
*EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:It turns out Griba used to be the high priest of the spider cult himself, and has been using Ator to take out Dakkar so he can reclaim his post.]]
*GiantSpider: The Ancient One is a huge spider who lives in the spider cult's temple, although we never see quite how huge because the budget apparently didn't allow for more than a few legs and part of a head.
*GlamourFailure: The sorceress Indun looks like a lovely woman, but when she sees herself in the mirror her hideous true appearance is restored.
*GroinAttack: Griba pulls this on Ator while the latter is readying himself for training, to teach a lesson on "surprise."
*InescapableNet: Once the rope net drops on Ator, he flails around impotently. Admittedly, the fact that he's surrounded by armed women a few seconds later cuts short the time he has to get out.
*LadyLand: Roon belongs to an all-female tribe that only uses men for breeding purposes.
*LivingShadow: While Ator is looking at his reflection in the Shield of Mordor, his shadow comes to life and attacks him.
*LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: The Shield of Mordor doubles as a kind of MagicMirror, though its effects change as the plot demands. When Ator looks into it, his LivingShadow attacks him, but when Ator is wielding it while fighting Dakkar, [[spoiler:it makes Dakkar explode]].
*MagicMirror:
**The mirror in the sorceress's bedroom exposes her true appearance when she looks into it.
**The Shield of Mordor acts this way, since weird things happen to whoever sees their reflection in it.
*MrFanservice: The scantily clad and sculptured Miles O'Keeffe.
*PeltsOfTheBarbarian: Almost everyone in the movie wears animal hides, usually with fur attached.
*ReligionOfEvil: The spider cult involves feeding victims to an actual GiantSpider, and is also cruel and oppressive in other ways.
*ShoutOut: The Shield of [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Mordor]], though it's debatable whether it's a shout-out or just plagiarism.
*SlippingAMickey: The drink that Indun offers Ator seems to be drugged.
*TearsFromAStone: Dakkar knows when the son of Toran is born (or up to something) when the eagle statue in his temple sheds TearsOfBlood.
*TrainingMontage: We get a standard one as Griba trains Ator in fighting skills, mostly with swords.
*UnusualPetsForUnusualPeople: The high priest of the spider cult (naturally) has pet tarantulas, while Indun has pet snakes.
*WalkingShirtlessScene: Ator spends most of the movie with no shirt, and no pants for that matter.
