Synopsis
  • Ash Williams finds himself transported through a time-portal into the medieval era. Soldiers under the command of Lord Arthur capture him and muse as to whether or not he may be the Promised One. They take his weapons away from and lump him into a chain gang along with soldiers from the opposing armies of Duke Henry the Red. Bringing the prisoners back to the town square, they throw Ash into a pit filled with zombies. Ash fights bravely fights the zombies and the wise man, convinced that he is indeed the Promised One, throws him his weapons so that he might escape the pit. Ash finishes the zombies off and climbs out. As he is the first one to ever survive the pit, it is now accepted that he is the Promised One – the one chosen to save the kingdom from the ravages of the Deadites. He is taken back to the castle and cleaned and fed. The wise man tells him that he may be able to send Ash back to his native time line, but to do so he will require the Necronomicon – the Book of the Dead. They also require the Neconomicon to repulse the threat of the Deadites – a task only the Promised One can accomplish. Ash agrees to help them and puts his engineering degree to use by forging for himself a cybernetic robot hand to replace his chainsaw-hand. Now, Ash is ready to quest for the Necronomicon and defeat the Army of Darkness.
