Overview
This is the US Theatrical Release (Disk 1 of the Boomstick Set). It includes the
S-Mart Ending as opposed to the original apocalypse ending found in the MGM Release.

The protagonist, Ash, who discovered the Necronomicon ex Mortis, or \"Book of the Dead\",
that unleashed demonic forces in the previous films The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, is
sucked into a time vortex with his Oldsmobile, an event caused by reading the spell to
defeat the demons. He ends up in a medieval land around 1300 AD (\"As near as I can figure\")
, where he is believed to be the \"Hero From The Sky\", the man destined to deliver
salvation to mankind from the \"Deadites\", or the undead, as is told at the end of Evil
Dead II. The plot, though, alters somewhat between the ending of Evil Dead II and the
beginning of Army of Darkness.

Instead of being praised, Ash is at first believed to be one of Duke Henry\'s men, a
Scottish people at war with the English knights who find him. Ash is enslaved, his gun
and chainsaw confiscated, and is taken to a castle. A priest keeps Ash\'s weapons,
believing the \"strange one\" to be a redeemer, foretold in prophecy to be the one who
shall deliver mankind from the terror of the Deadites. Ash is thrown in a pit where he
fights off a Deadite, regains his weapons, and uses his \"boomstick\", a Remington
double-barreled shotgun, to frighten the inhabitants of the kingdom into helping him
return to his own time.

The only way to return to his time and stop the Deadites, according to the priest who
gave Ash back his weapons, is to retrieve the Necronomicon - which contains both spells.
Ash is supposed to speak a mysterious phrase when he takes the Necronomicon. While
preparing for this, Ash becomes romantically involved with a local woman, Sheila.

Ash then journeys for the Necronomicon, along the way passing into a haunted forest.
Some unseen creature pursues Ash through the woods, which the camera shows from the
creature\'s point of view. At one point the camera passes between two trees, and a face
(or perhaps a mask) appears on the lefthand tree. It is unclear what the face is about,
but interviews with Raimi suggest that there is no particular significance to it.

While running from the unseen creature, Ash ducks into a windmill where he crashes into
a mirror. The small reflections of Ash climb out from the shattered mirror and torture
him. After knocking him unconscious and tying him down, one of the little Ashes dives
down his throat. Ash attempts to kill the little Ash by drinking boiling water, but
before any effect can be assumed, \"Evil Ash\" begins to split off from his right shoulder.
Ash panicks and runs back out through the woods, where Evil Ash completely splits off
of him. Ash shoots Evil Ash in the face, slices him to bits with his chainsaw, and
buries him alive.

When he arrives at the book\'s location, he sees three books instead of one. After a
painful experience with the two fake books, Ash finds the real one. He attempts to say
the words, but realizes he forgot them. Ash tries to trick the book by mumbling, but
that re-releases the Evil Dead. He grabs the book and rushes back to the castle. During
Ash\'s panicked trek back, Evil Ash rises from his grave and unites the deadites into the
Army of Darkness.

Despite causing the predicament faced by the humans, Ash initially demands to be
returned to his own time. When Sheila is captured by a flying Deadite, he becomes
determined to lead the humans against the Deadite army. Reluctantly, the people agree
to join Ash. Using scientific knowledge from the future, from chemistry and engineering
books in the trunk of his Oldsmobile, plus enlisting the help of Duke Henry (whom Ash
saved after his conflict in the pit), Ash successfully leads the humans to defeat the
Deadites and save Sheila. After this Ash uses the book, and made to sleep for 100 years.
Because of this Ash stays young and is sent back to the present, but finds a Deadite
terrorizing shoppers at S-Mart, where he works. Ash defeats the Deadite in his classic
style, and the film ends with Ash saying, \"Hail to the king, baby\", and kissing a female
co-worker.
