Ragnarok follows archaeologist Sigurd Svendsen, who has spent years studying a Viking ship and the runic inscription found aboard it. He becomes convinced the markings hold the key to the Norse myth of Ragnarok, the end of the world, and when his friend Allan discovers similar runes on a stone from northern Norway, Sigurd decides the carvings are a map. Together with his children and a colleague, he sets out on an expedition that takes the group into a deserted border zone between Norway and Russia, where the true meaning of the runes turns out to be far more dangerous than a simple treasure hunt.
The Norwegian production was directed by Mikkel Brænne Sandemose, working from a screenplay by John Kåre Raake, with Roar Uthaug among its producers. It was Sandemose's second feature, following Cold Prey III, and he went on to make the two Ash Lad films and The Polar Bear Prince. Pål Sverre Hagen plays Sigurd, with Nicolai Cleve Broch as Allan, Sofia Helin as Elisabeth and Bjørn Sundquist as Leif.
Made for a budget of about 7 million dollars, the film earned roughly 4 million dollars worldwide. On IMDb it holds a critics' rating of 6 out of 10 from 14 reviews, while on TMDB it has a rating of 5.7 out of 10 from 245 votes.
