Jack The Giant Killer

The terrible and treacherous Pendragon plans to gain the throne of Cornwall by getting the king to abdicate and to marry his lovely daughter. To help him he has his dreadful witches in his castle and his almost unstoppable sorcery. A giant under his control abducts the princess, but on the way home with her the giant meets farming lad Jack who slays him. This is only the beginning. Be assured Pendragon and his evil magic are far from done.

My take

A swashbuckling fairy tale where a scrappy farm boy becomes an unlikely hero against dark sorcery and tyranny. Classic adventure that channels the spirit of folklore—earnest, thrilling, and wonderfully unironic in its good-versus-evil stakes.
