Conan the Barbarian (1982)

The film champions individual strength, self-reliance, and personal vengeance as the primary solution to tyranny, emphasizing a rugged, primal form of justice over collective action or systemic reform.

Conan the Barbarian features traditional casting consistent with its genre and era, without any intentional race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on a classic revenge tale, positively framing traditional masculine heroism without critiquing traditional identities or incorporating explicit DEI themes.
