Plot Synopsis

Each week "Deadliest Warrior" pits one civilization against another to determine whose fighters were more deadly. Pirate vs. Knight. Apache vs. Gladiator. Viking vs. Samurai. Taliban vs. IRA. Japanese Yakuza vs. Sicilian Mafia. No combination is off-limits. This unscripted series uses computer graphics, simulations, and high-tech sensors to investigate weapons and human physiology so that three experts can determine what made these warriors such effective killing machines.
