Ash, a handsome, shotgun-toting, chainsaw-armed department store clerk, is time warped backwards into England's Dark Ages, where he romances a beauty and faces legions of the undead.
Ash Williams is accidentally transported to the Middle Ages to fight an army of the dead. He must retrieve an ancient artifact, the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis, to return to his own time. However, his own clumsiness and a prophecy about a "chosen one" complicate his quest, leading to a climactic battle against a horde of skeletal warriors and his own evil twin.
