The Seventh Seal

Original title: Det sjunde inseglet

“The story of a challenge to death.”

★ 8.1 TMDB Rating · 3.5K votes

When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.
