Sometime in the 9th century AD we see a fisherman named Stormur end up caught in a storm while out on his boat and during the storm he is pushed into the water by the waves and electrocuted. He wakes up in a dream like state to see a yellow crystal floating above him. He starts to hear the voice of an old man. The man tells him that Thor the God of thunder has been killed and his hammer was stolen. The man tells him that Thor's powers were placed in the crystal and now he has been chosen by the Gods of Norse to carry on Thor's journey. After decades of searching for the frost giant that killed the original Thor, Stormur grows weary and decides to run away from his duties and leave to another country but when doing so he is confronted by the old man who is revealed to be Odin and the two end up fighting. During the fight Odin orders Heimdall to open the Bifrost and send Stormur away but after sending a huge wave of lightning towards both Odin and Heimdall, the Bifrost sends Stormur to the year 1986. The movie ends with a scene showing Stormur in 1998 watching the news and seeing a superhero who calls himself Hermes on it.
