1242 Gateway To The West

DVD w/PPR available mid-December 2026. DSLs available now.

When the Great Mongolian army is about to invade Europe in 1242 it doesn’t expect that a Hungarian castle and its Priest, Eusebius will stop it.

After the Hungarian army is destroyed by the Mongol Invasion, Hungary’s fortified city of Esztergom becomes the final barrier between the forces of Genghis Kahn’s son and the heart of Europe. Inside the walls, survival depends not only on swords but on a fragile triangle of power between the Mongol command, the embattled Hungarian king, and a Vatican cardinal.

“With a budget north of $10 million and a cast spanning Hollywood to Ulaanbaatar, 1242 is Hungary’s most ambitious historical film to date.” – The Budapest Reporter.

At the center stands Eusebius, a pacifist and visionary canon, forced into uneasy alliance with Captain Simon, a battle-hardened mercenary. As siege, hunger, and doubt tighten their grip, diplomacy, faith, and betrayal collide with Mongol ritual and prophecy. What unfolds is not a battle for a fortress, but a psychological confrontation between empire, crown and church.

Stars Ray Stevenson (The Three Musketeers, Kill the Irishman), Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight, Runaway Train), Michael Ironside (Scanners, Total Recall) and Bold Choimbol (Bogd Khaan).

“An epic without a lot of time on the battlefield. Some may find that attractive.” – Tina Kakadelis, The Sound View.

2025 History-War-Drama / 105 mins color / English and Mongolian with English Sub-titles / A Film by Peter Soos.

“A potent and blistering indictment of a society [Director Ilaria] Borrelli clearly sees as misogynistic and cruel to any young woman who does not fit in within its narrow parameters.” – Matt Davison, The Sound View.

“Gorgeous, powerful, and thought-provoking.” – Through Women’s Eyes International Film Festival

“The Goat also shines a spotlight ‘On barbaric traditions still practiced in so many areas of the world that devastate the young women and girls in these communities, such as marriage by abduction, gang rape, deadly childbirth conditions.” – Variety.
