          WRITTEN BY WILLIE TRAVIS JR























                                 NARRATOR(V.O)

Long,long ago..in distant Lands,now long forgotten,there was a time like no other.
It was a time of Kings,Queens,and shining Kingdoms.It was a time,of legends.
It was the time..of the HORDE!

EXT-DESERT-DAY

The Sands of the Desert vibrate,as thousands of Armor clad Soldiers,gallop
across on Horses,and Camels!

                              �
                                 NARRATOR(V.O)

They were called the" Red Horde.For when they invaded,a Kingdom,the
Streets, ran red with the blood,of it's inhabitants!


EXT-KINGDOM-DAY

The Red Horde,rampages through the Kingdom!Fighting and Killing,Soldiers and
Civillians indiscriminately!

                                
                                  NARRATOR(V.O)


The Red Horde were merciless.Some called them Scourges from Hell! They were
unstoppable! All that opposed them,perished.Their Kingdom would burn,and their
Soldiers would be defeated! Those that surrendered,would be impaled! Their
Women and Children would be enslaved!The "Horde's Chief Commander,was the
Night Queen.


INT-THRONEROOM-BLACK PALACE

The Night Queen sets all alone,on her Throne. In her dimly lit Throne room.
Her face is concealed,behind a Golden Face mask.Long dark Hair flows down,
past her shoulders.

                                �
                                   NARRATOR(V.O)

From her Palace of Night,she ruled them,with an Iron Fist! Where she sat,on
her Throne .. the Throne of Blood. But now,after many years,of Victorious
Conquests,she begin to feeel,her own Mortality.She and her Hordes,had
defeated all,that had opposed them.But now, time was catching up.


INT-THRONEROOM-BLACK PALACE

The Queen stares at her Hands.Which are adorned,with long Black Finger
nails.Her Hands are covered,with Age spots.Her Veins are Cracked.She
is Old.


  
                                    NARRATOR(V.O)


There was only one thing,that could extend,her longevity. It was a Jewel...


ANGLE ON: A GLIMMERING JEWEL.



                                    NARRATOR(V.O)


The Jewel of Life. Which rested deep in the Junglelands,of the South.In a
Kingdom called " Urbala". This small Jewel's life giving energies,was exactly
what the Night Queen needed. So...


EXT-THRONEROOM-BLACK PALACE

Four men all dressed in Armor,enter the dimly lit Throne room. They
bow before the seated Queen.



                                     NARRATOR(V.O)


She sent her Hordes out, to claim it.


EXT-DESERT-DAY

The great Armies of the Horde, gallop across the Desert,on their Horses!



                                      NARRATOR(V.O)

But little did she know,that this latest Conquest,would bring about a
Legend.A mighty Warrior,who would stand before..and defeat her
Armies! A man destined to become,a Champion,and a God.

THE CHRONICLES OF SAMSON: THE JEWEL OF LIFE-ACT ONE


FADE IN:


EXT-URBALA-JUNGLE LANDS-NIGHT

A magnificent Kingdom,sets sprawled across the Jungle floor,beneath the
light of the full Moon.Surrounded,by massive Defense Walls.Populated by,two
to four story Buildings,and Towers made from Limestone.Nubian pedestrians
walk to and fro,about the Streets of their great City!


                                     NARRATOR(V.O)

Ahh...the splendid Kingdom of Urbala.Long ruled by a line of Proud and
Powerful Monarchs.And long renown,for it's beauty,and it's, famed life
replenishing wonder: The Jewel of Life.

The Jewel rests,on a Gold Altar.Guarded by Armor Clad Nubian Guards!
Who are armed with,Swords and Spears,


                                     NARRATOR(V.O)

Little did the Urbalians know,how far tales of their wonderous Kingdom,
had spread.But now these Tales,had reached the Seat,of the Hordes Power..
The Throne of Blood! And little did they know,that their Kingdom ,was about
to be Invaded.


EXT-URBALA-NIGHT

The City Burns!! While Hordes of the Night Queens Troops,rush through the
City! On Horse back,and on Foot! Setting Fires,and fighting through the
Ranks of the Urbalian Soldiers!


INT-TOWER-URBALA-NIGHT

A Soldier of Urbala,rushes into a room,and blows a great Warning Horn!
Calling for help! But his blowing is cut short,by a Hordesman Blade!
Which is thrusted through his Chest! The Nubian Soldier,falls to the Floor,
dead!


EXT-DEEP JUNGLE-URBALA-NIGHT

Among the thick Jungle Growth, crouches a Lean,and Muscular Man.
He is armed,with a Spear.He quietly,raises his Spear..and aims for a
Great Boar,drinking from a Small Lake! As he is about,to Spear the
Boar,he is unaware,that he is being Stalked by a Great Jaguar! Which
is concealed,by the thick under growth of the Jungle!

Suddenly,the Great Cat,leaps out of the Under growth! Knocking the
Man,to the Jungle floor! The Hunter throws the spotted Terror,off
of him,and rolls to his Feet! The Boar hears the disturbance,and runs
off! The Large Cat,begins to circle,the Tall,Muscular Man! Suddenly
the Jaguar leaps!

The two Fight! It is a swift,and vicious fight! Soon the Hunter,gains the
upperhand! He places his Foot,on the struggling Cat's white furred
breast! He reaches down,and grabs the Upper and Lower part of the Cat's
Jaws! The Large Jaguar,struggles as he begins,to pry the Cat's Cannine
filled Maw,wider and wider! Suddenly,the Cat lets out one final roar, before
we hear it's Jaws pop!

The Hunter has won! As he stands,catching his breath,suddenly he hears,
the Warning Horns,of Urbala! He picks up,the Jaguar's Carcass,slings it
over his Shoulders,and rushes through the Jungle!


EXT-ANCIENT TEMPLE-URBALA-NIGHT

The Horde Troops,rush up the Temple's steps! Fighting through the Temple
Guards! After defeating the Guards,the Soldiers of the Horde,enter the
Temple!


EXT-JUNGLE -URBALA-NIGHT

The Muscular Hunter,runs through the Jungle,with his dead Prize,slung over
his Shoulder! Rushing for his Home!


EXT-ANCIENT TEMPLE-URBALA-NIGHT

The Night Queen's Troops,enter the Temple! Where they find,a beautiful "Jewel"
resting on a Gold Altar! A Soldier steps forward,and lifts the Jewel of Life,from
the Altar!


EXT-JUNGLE -URBALA-NIGHT

The Hunter,comes to a stop,on an elevated portion,of the Jungle land! Overlooking
the lower portion,of the Junglefloor! It is here,where the Hunter,see's his
Kingdom,going up in Flames! He drops the Jaguar Carcass,and leaps down to
the lower,portion of the Jungle floor! He hastily rushes,through the Jungle!
His perfectly toned body,glistening with Sweat,beneath the Light of the,Full Moon!


EXT-ANCIENT TEMPLE-URBALA-NIGHT

The Four Armor clad Men,that we saw earlier,Bowing before the Night Queen,
are now seated on their Horses. Over seeing the Battle. Women Screams are
heard echoing through the Night,as lustful Hordesmen,proceed to beat and
Ravish them! All around the Four Mounted men,Buildings burn and collaspe!
While the Dead,and Dying are strewn about the Ground,everywhere!

Amidst all of this Carnage, the Four Men set calmly,as if nothing unusual
is occuring! They set on their Mounts,watching as a Hordesman Soldier,
descends down the Temple's steps. Carrying the Glowing Jewel of Life.
The Soldier comes to a stop, before the Four Mounted Men. Holding the
Jewel of Life,out before him. The Man in the middle,of the Four gives an
approving nod.

Two Soldiers,carrying a large specially designed,Wooden Crate,comes to
stop before the Four Mounted Men,and the Soldier holding the Jewel.
The Soldier places,the Jewel,into a specially made Inset,inside the Crate.
The lid is placed,over it. The two Armor Clad Soldiers,lift the Wooden
Crate,and proceed out of sight. While another Soldier,approaches the
four Mounted Men.


                               SOLDIER

What of the Survivors,my Lord?



                                �1ST MAN

Put them in Shackles. They will make excellent Slaves.


The Soldier bows,and moves away.


EXT-JUNGLE-NIGHT

The Hunter runs,with all of his might! But the faster,he runs,the farther
away,from the burning Kingdom,he seems to get!


EXT-URBALA-NIGHT

The Hordesmen,proceed out of the,devastated Kingdom.Taking Hundreds
of Nubian Slaves with them. Which are mostly,made up of Young Boys,
Girls,and Women. The Four men,ride up ahead in silence. Soon the Red
Horde Armies,and their Slaves,vanish out of sight!


LATER


EXT-URBALA-NIGHT

The Hunter has finally,arrived in his once beautiful Kingdom! Which is
now going up,in flames! Dead Soldiers,and Civillians lay ,in the
Streets. The Burning Fires cackle,as the Hunter,slowly walks through
the Streets,of his devastated Home. He stoops down,to examine a
slain Soldier,which is not of his Homeland.


                      
                                HUNTER

Who were you?


Suddenly,the Hunter is drawn out of his thoughts,when he hears screaming,
coming from one,of the burning Buildings! He turns to see,a group of Survivors
trying to move a large,fallen piece of Limestone wall,from over the Door,of a
burning Building! He runs over to the,group of Men,trying to move the huge
chunk,of Limestone.


                                1ST MAN

Oh Prince Samson! It is you!Thank the Gods! It's my Daughter! She's trapped
behind that Wall of Limestone! You must help her!


                                  SAMSON

Stand back!


Prince Samson,moves the Men back,while the little Girl,trapped inside the
burning Building screams! Samson,the Tall and Muscular Man,grabs the
large fragment of Limestone,around its edges.His muscles flex,as he lifts,
the huge section of Stonewall,over his Head! And throws it,into the Streets,
where it breaks apart!


The Little Girl,runs out and into her Father's arms!




                                 FATHER

Thank you,Prince Samson! Thank you!


FADE TO BLACK


FADE IN:


EXT-BURNT OUT PALACE STEPS-URBALA-MORNING

A mature and attractive Woman,wearing a Gold Coronet,sets on a Throne,atop
of the Fire Ravaged Palace Steps.Her subjects stand,gathered at the Base,of the
steps! Samson strides through,the crowd of Survivors,gathered at the Steps.
The Queen addressess him.



                                  QUEEN

Samson! My son,i am pleased,that you survived the Attack! Thank the
Gods!



                                  SAMSON

Mother,who is responsible for this? Why did they,attack us?



                                    QUEEN

I do not know. No one here,has ever seen them before.


                            
                                 VOICE(O.S)

I have seen them!


Samson turns,to locate the source of the Voice. The Crowd gathered,at the
steps part. Allowing an Elderly Man,walking on a Ivory Cane,to proceed,
toward the Queen. Upon reaching the steps,the Old Man,bows to the Prince
and the Queen.


                                  SAMSON

You have seen them before?



                                  OLD MAN

I saw them long ago..during my youth.They were called the "Horde".
The Red Horde. They were Conquerors.It is said,that the Hordes were
commanded,by the Kings,of the Four Great Cities,of Thrall,Vissyria,Edia,
and Ademia.But rumor has it,that the true ruler of the Hordes,
lies deep,in the Forgotten Sands.In a place,called Zwalahania.


Samson listens intently.


                                OLD MAN

It is said,that the Four Kings,answer to a Dark and powerful Queen.That
resides in Zwalahania.Some say,that she's not human.


                                 SAMSON

Where are these four Cities?



                                  OLD MAN

They lie far away,in the East. Across the Burning Oceans of Sand.There
you will find them. But beware my Prince,if you do somehow,find
Zwalahania,be wary of the Queen. It is said,that she has"unnatural powers".



                                  QUEEN

But Samson,we cannot attack them,my son. Our Armies are devastated.
We must rebuild.


                                  SAMSON

The Horde have taken,our People as Slaves!Burnt our Kingdom,and Stole the
life blood,of our Kingdom,the Jewel of Life! Without it,our People shall
know strife!


                                 QUEEN

Samson, what can we do?! The Hordes Armies are great! Ours are
decimated!


                                 SAMSON

You're right Mother.You can do nothing. Our People can do nothing.
But i can.

the Stairwell,there is a :


SECRET CHAMBER

EXT-ANCIENT TEMPLE-URBALA-DAY

Samson exits the Temple.And proceeds down the Steps.The citizens watch
as their Prince,proceeds down the Stone Streets.Heading out of the Kingdom.


EXT-DESERT-DAY

Samson rides across the great vast Desert,on Camelback.


                                  NARRATOR(V.O)

And so..the mighty Warrior,Samson embarked upon his journey,
across the Burning Ocean of Sand.For many Days he rode.Hours turned
to Days,Days turned to weeks.How long he had rode,he did not care.For
Samon,only one thing mattered: REVENGE. Those that wronged him,would
taste his Spear!


Samson,rides towards a Great Ancient Babylonian style City! Which is
surrounded by a great Defense wall!


                                    NARRATOR(V.O)

Now after riding,for Countless days,the Prince came upon,the Great and
Ancient City,of THRALL. Long ruled by the Horde King: Zinthallus.


EXT-DEFENSE WALL-THRALL-DAY

Samson rides through,the City Gates.


EXT-STREETS-THRALL-DAY

The Streets of Thrall,are bustling with activity! Street Merchants,line the
streets,pitching their goods! As Old Turban wearing men,playing Flutes,
set cross legged,arousing Snakes from,their Straw Baskets! Samson,
strides through the hustle and bustle,of the Streets. His head covered,
by the Hood,of his long Robes.

As he walks,he spots Nubian Slaves up ahead! Pulling huge blocks,of
Limestone across the busy Streets,while having their backs lashed,by
the Hordesmen Slavemasters! Samson quickens his pace,as the Slaves
dissapear around the Corner,of a Building!


As the Prince clears,the Corner,he comes to a stop. His P.o.v-
Samson beholds a Collossal Stone Monument,in the likeness of
Zinthallus! Which stands before,a great unfinished Structure,on
which the Slaves(hundreds of them) are still building! While below
the great,and towering unfinished Structure,Slaves are dragging
huge blocks of Limestone towards it! Under the supervision,of the
Hordesmen Slavemasters!

One of the Slaves,who is pulling a huge Limestone Block,stumbles
and falls! A Slave Masters,descend upon the Slave unmercifully!
Lashing and Kicking him,all the while shouting at him!


                                   SLAVEMASTER
                                    (shouting)

FILTHY NUBIAN! GET UP! GET UP I SAY!


The Slave master,continues to kick the Slave,even as he trys to get up!
He is about,to strike the Slave with his Fist! But suddenly,a large Black
Hand,grabs him by the Wrist! The Slave master,looks back,only to see a
Tall,imposing Nubian Man,dressed in long Robes,standing behind him!


Samson lifts the Soldier,off the Ground,and sends him flying into the Base,
of the Great Statue! The Soldier hits the Monument,with force! Then he falls,
to the Sand! Where he lies still! Samson throws off,his long Garments!
Revealing his Perfectly Toned muscular,body! The other Slave masters,
catch sight of him!


                                  1st SLAVEMASTER
                                    �(shouting)

KILL HIM!


The Soldier Slavemasters,of the Red Horde,rush towards Samson,with their
Swords and Spears drawn! Samson eyes narrow,his Fist Clench! For the
Prince of Urbala,this is a workout! Samson and the Soldiers fight! Samson
works his Spear vigorously! With each turn,and Lick,Soldiers are sent flying
to the Sand! The Soldiers are outdone,in a matter of Minutes! They are all,
lying in the Sand,very still!

Samson begins breaking,the Slaves Chains with his Barehands! The Slaves
cheer! As Samson is breaking the Slaves Chains,suddenly more Soldiers
are approaching,the construction site! Samson stabs his Spear,into
the Sand! He runs to the great,Collossal Limestone Statue! He places his
great Hands,on it's Base,and begins to push!


The mighty Warrior's Back Muscles flex,as he applies more and more pressure,
to the Statue's base! Suddenly the Hordesmen Soldiers,come to a stop!
Their P.O.V- They watch in amazement as the Great Statue,descends towards
them! The Soldiers rush out of the falling Monuments path,as it speeds towards
them! The Collossal Monument hits the Ground,with a great THOOM! Sending Dust,
and Particles of Sand everywhere!


The Great Noise,sends the Beast of Burden,and the City's inhabitants
running in fear! A whole line,of freed Slaves,stand cheering upon,
seeing this Magnificent feat,of Strength! One of the Slaves turns,and
asks another Slave:


                                    �1ST SLAVE

His strength is amazing! Who is he?!


A Nubian Slave answers.


                                     NUBIAN SLAVE

He is Samson. Prince of Urbala! Blessed with the Strength of the Gods!


After the dust settles,Samson runs atop the fallen Monument,towards
the bewildered Soldiers! Suddenly,a Soldier spots,the approaching
Nubian Prince,and rushes towards him,with his Sword,at the ready!
With one Hand,the Mighty Warrior,Samson slaps the Sword,out of the
Soldiers hand, and strikes him! He then lifts the "dazed" Soldier
into the air,with one hand!


                                      SAMSON

Return to your King.Tell him that I Samson,Prince and Champion of
Urbala,seeks an audience with him. Now Go!


Samson throws the Soldier down! The Soldier lands in the Sand,with a thud!
He hastily gets up,and runs away! Leaving his Sword and Helm behind!


LATER:


EXT-STREET-THRALL-DAY

Crowds are lined up,on each side of the Street!Staring in awe, as Samson,the
Bare Chested,tall,muscle bound,Prince strides down the Street! A dozen or
more Armed Hordesmen Soldiers,walk beside Samson,on each side! But not
to close. Constantly they keep their distance!


EXT-PALACE COURTYARD-DAY

Samson stands beneath a Balcony,with Guards all around him! With their
Swords,and Spears,at the ready! While Archers atop,the Palace steps
keep,their Arrows trained on him! Ready to strike,upon the slightest
movement! And even while surrounded,by all of this,Samson stands cool
as a cucumber!

Suddenly.the King appears upon the Balcony.He wears a Gold Crown,and
is attired in long lavender robes. The Bearded ruler,looks down upon
Samson,and addressess him:


                                 KING ZINTHALLUS

Samson,Prince of Urbala,what business have you here?



                                 SAMSON

You enslaved my people,burnt my Kingdom,and stole the Jewel of Life.
The Well spring of my people's,well being. I have come here,to ask you,
to relinquish them both.My People,and the Jewel.What is your answer?


After taking Samson's request,into consideration,the King responds.


                                  KING ZINTHALLUS

Here is my answer!


The King forms a Fireball,in his Hand! And sends it speeding,towards
Samson! Samson rolls out of the way,just in time!


                                  KING
                        �(SHOUTING TO HIS MEN)

KILL HIM!


The King swiftly exits the Balcony,and proceeds back into,the Palace!
His long Robes,trailing behind! While below in the:


COURTYARD

Samson armed with his Sword and Shield,fights off Sword,and axe Weilding
Soldiers,left and right! Suddenly the Archers,on the Palace Steps,let their
Arrows fly! The Arrows speed towards Samson,about to strike..but with a
cross,of his Gauntlet clad Arms,a Magical Orb,of fire is created around him!
The Arrows burn on impact,with the Fiery shield!


After defeating all of the Soldiers,in the Courtyard,he rushes up the
Palace steps,and makes quick work,of the Archers! Afterward,he enters
the :


PALACE-

Where he fights through, Dozens more,of Helmed and Armor Clad
Soldiers! Each Soldier that advances,is either speared,or sent flying
through the air! Landing on the hard,and glossy limestone Floor!


INT-THRONE ROOM-PALACE

The King sets on his Throne. All alone in his Lavish, Throne room!
Suddenly,one of his Soldiers,is sent flying through the great
Doors,of the Throne room! Slide landing, on the glossy grey,Limestone
Floor! Where he lays uncounscious. The King watches as Samson,
enters the Throne room


Samson walks past,the great Lavender and Gold Stripped Columns,
and the Hindu styled, Multi armed statues, which line the Walls,of the
Throne room. He comes to a stop,before the seated King of
Thrall.


                                 KING ZINTHALLUS

Well,i must admit,i am impressed.You have entered my City,destroyed
one of my Monuments,defeated my Soldiers,and now..you have entered my
Throne room! You are the first,to have made it,this far. Congratulations,
my strong Nubian Friend.


                  
                                  SAMSON

Flattery will get you,nowhere. You will pay for your misdeeds! But before
i kill you,tell me..where is the Jewel of Life?


The Evil King laughs!


        
                                  KING ZINTHALLUS

Why certainly.You will not find it here.No..even as i speak,my Brother carries
it East. Where my Mother,awaits it. You will never attain it,my good Prince!


                                  
                                    SAMSON

You will die!



                                    KING ZINTHALLUS

Maybe..but first you must defeat,my Sentries!


The Evil King of Thrall,claps his hands! Suddenly the Six Multi-Armed Hindu
Statues,come to life! Each of their arms,are armed with Swords and Axes!
All six Stone Sentries,begin to walk towards Samson! Who throws down,his
Spear,and brings his Shield,and Sword,to bear!


Suddenly,the six multi armed Sentries attack! Samson and the Sentries
fight! The Mighty Nubian Prince,evades and counters! Samson Sword lands
countless times! But has no effect,for the Statues are made of Stone!
Sword and Axes swing,swipe and stab at Samson,from all directions!
Forcing him to Evade and roll,countless times!

As he comes up,to his feet,a swipe from an Axe,nearly decapitates him!
But Samson is Quick! He ducks just in time! The Axe Blade misses,and
sinks into one of the,great Columns of the Throne Room! While the
Axe Wielding Stone Sentry,is busy pulling it's Axe blade,from the Column,
Samson rolls to feet! Now King Zinthallus's Hands become aflame!


The evil King laughs,as he sends Twin Jets of Flame,towards Samson!
Once more, Samson is forced to Evade! Once back on his feet,the
Prince gets enough space,from the Six Sentries,and the King,to get
his thoughts together! Play time is over. He means business now.
Samson eye's narrow.His fist clench!


Suddenly the Statues advance! Samson evades,the first Statues blows!
He counters by lifting,the Statue up! He raises the Animated Multi-
armed Statue over his Head,and sends it flying,into the five other
approaching Sentrys! Two fall,and break upon impact! Samson grabs
another by it's Ankles,and uses it like a club! Breaking off the other,
Stone Sentries, Arms and Heads!


Upon the Stone Sentries defeat,Zinthallus,the Evil King sends forth,a
Jet of Flame,towards Samson! Samson evades,the Hot Flames,by front
rolling! He grabs his Spear,that was lying on the Throne room Floor!
He gracefully rolls to his feet,and throws his Spear,with perfect form,
towards the King!


ANGLE ON: SPEEDING SPEAR


The King brings both, of his Hands aflame,once more! Preparing for
another Flame attack! Before he can react,he see's the Spear,speeding
towards him! The Spear hits him,square in the Abdomen! Sending him
flying backward,and landing in his Throne chair!


Where he explodes,in a Fiery Conflagration! Leaving nothing behind,but
his Lavender Robes! Samson walks over to the Throne. Picks up his
Spear,and proceeds towards the Doors of the Throne room. Suddenly
he comes to a stop,as a Hooded Figure,peels from the Shadows of the
room! The Faceless Figure,bows and dissapears back into,the Shadows
of the Room!


Samson continues on.


EXT-PALACE STEPS-THRALL-DAY

Samson emerges from the Palace,only to find a crowd of People,gathered
at the base of the Steps! Staring quietly,as Samson proceeds down,the
great Steps of the Palace! Suddenly,a young Boy,runs out from among,
the Crowd,and up the Steps,into the Palace! After a short time,the Boy
runs out Shouting:


                  
                                BOY

The King is Dead! The King is Dead!


The Citizen's rejoice!


                          �
                                 NARRATOR(V.0)

And so,after the Evil King's demise,Samson had all of the Slaves of Thrall,
freed! Including those in the Dungeons,that were not of Urbala! It was here,
that he met the former King of the Great City!


EXT-BALCONY-PALACE-NIGHT

Samson and a Silver Haired,Elderly gentleman stand on the Balcony
together.Watching as the Citizens of Thrall,celebrate in the Streets,
beneath the Moon light!



                                   KING

Many blessings,be upon you Samson.Long has it been,since i laid eyes
on my Kingdom! I am thankful,for my freedom. Although i know it
is short lived.


The King turns,to regard Samson.


                          
                                  KING

You do not know,the Horde as i do. You have slayed one,of the Kings!
His brothers will,come seeking retribution! Their arrows shall rain
Death,upon my People! This City will be Razed to the Ground!

Samson stands Quietly,listening.



                                  KING

Even you cannot stop them.You are only one Man.Our defeat is
eminent.



                                   SAMSON

We shall have to see.



Samson and the Elderly Man,stand side by side.Staring at the revelers,
in the Streets!
