The Huntsman: Winter's War - Movie Synopsis & Plot
Discover the story that came before Snow White in The Huntsman: Winter’s War. Chris Hemsworth and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron return to their roles from Snow White and the Huntsman, joined by Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain.
Theron stars as evil Queen Ravenna, who betrays her good sister Freya (Blunt) with an unforgivable act, freezing Freya’s heart to love and unleashing in her an icy power she never knew she possessed. Retreating to a kingdom far to the north, Freya raises an army of Huntsmen as her protectors, with the only rule that no two of them should ever fall in love.
As a war for domination escalates between the two queens, the hero standing between them is Freya’s most elite Huntsman, Eric (Hemsworth). Alongside fellow warrior Sara (Chastain)—the only woman who has ever captured his heart—Eric must help Freya vanquish her sister…or Ravenna’s wickedness will rule for eternity.
MOVIE REVIEW
Should it be all that surprising that a spin-off of a classic fairy tale rips off a hugely popular Disney cartoon that in turn was a rip-off of several other classic fairy tales? Yes, The Huntsman: Winter’s War is the so-so prequel/sequel/spin-off to the so-so Snow White and the Huntsman, but it sure plays like a more violent version of Frozen.Read our Huntsman: Winter's War, The movie review »
