The 13th Warrior, based on a Michael Crichton novel called Eaters Of The Dead, was a box office failure. However, many people feel that it is a well-made film with correct elements: good plot, accurate portrayal of the era https://t.co/D2uUugKod0

Wasn't it a film adaptation of the book, "Eaters Of The Dead", by Michael Crichton?

Based on Michael Crichton‘s novel Eaters Of The Dead, John McTiernan‘s The 13th Warrior is a fun ride if you don’t expect too much. The plot is loosely based on the ancient epic poem, Beowulf. McTiernan & Crichton (who did reshoots) argued & the budget ballooned to $160 million. https://t.co/f8AoKCPkYa
