Xena: Warrior Princess

PRIMETIME EMMYS® 1X nominee in 2002
From critically acclaimed filmmakers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert, Xena: Warrior Princess is set in the "golden age" of myth. The whims of capricious gods and the greed of human tyrants make her world a treacherous one. Pursued by the evil warlord Draco, Xena travels from town to town and battle to battle as she invariably finds herself caught between the innocent and the forces of darkness. Along the way she meets a high-spirited young woman named Gabrielle, whose fiery tongue and quick wit make her a worthy cohort, and together they travel and work to create a land that is free from tyranny and injustice. The statuesque and leather-clad Xena was first introduced in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
