The historical action drama Rise of the Conqueror brings the story of Timur Barlas to the screen, depicting the rise of the warlord who forged order out of chaos in 14th-century Central Asia.

Christian Mortensen leads the cast as Timur, joined by Mahesh Jadu and Yulduz Rajabova. The ensemble reflects the film’s international scope, aiming to bring a global perspective to a pivotal period in Central Asian history.
Well Go USA Entertainment has acquired North American distribution rights, continuing its focus on international action and historical cinema. The company has scheduled a digital release for April 14, 2026.
Blending historical drama with large-scale combat sequences, Rise of the Conqueror presents a portrait of a controversial figure whose campaigns reshaped the political landscape of an entire region.
