Set in Denmark, the film opens with King Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins) celebrating the construction of his new mead hall, Heorot* The noise of the celebration echoes into Grendel’s (Crispin Glover) cave and torments him* In a mad fury, Grendel breaks into the hall and kills many people* After being challenged by Hrothgar, Grendel runs off into the night* Back at his lair, Grendel is admonished by his unseen mother for attacking the humans and possibly inviting retribution* She calms down after Grendel tells her that he did not harm Hrothgar*

Later Hrothgar and Queen Wealtheow (Robin Wright Penn) argue* Hrothgar states that he needs an heir* Wealtheow refuses to comply due to Hrothgar’s earlier involvement with Grendel’s mother (thus conceiving Grendel)*

That evening, Beowulf sheds his armor and tells his men to sing loudly, to attract the monster* Grendel is agitated once again and attacks the hall with a fury* While fighting Grendel, Beowulf discovers an external eardrum, the source of Grendel’s pain, and begins to attack it directly* This disorients Grendel, who shrinks in size from the attack and attempts to escape* Beowulf snares him with chains and slams the door on his arm breaking it off* Beowulf is proclaimed a hero and Grendel’s arm is nailed above the door of Heorot*

Meanwhile, Hrothgar closes Heorot and proclaims that he will give half of his kingdom in gold to any man who can defeat Grendel* Beowulf (Ray Winstone) and his men arrive by ship from Geatland and convince Hrothgar to reopen Heorot* Beowulf’s credibility is challenged by Unferth (John Malkovich), the King’s most trusted advisor* Beowulf proceeds to tell a tale to convince the people of Heorot that he is capable of killing Grendel* Hrothgar offers Beowulf his Golden drinking horn, a trophy taken after a battle with the dragon Fáfnir, in the event that Grendel is destroyed*
