wikipedia summary in full:

In 507, Geatish warrior Beowulf travels to Denmark with his band of soldiers, to slay Grendel, a creature that killed King Hrothgar's people during a celebration in the mead hall Heorot. Beowulf becomes attracted to Hrothgar's wife Queen Wealtheow.

To lure out Grendel, the men loudly celebrate in Heorot. Grendel arrives and as they fight, an unarmed and naked Beowulf discovers that Grendel has hypersensitive hearing and ruptures the creature's eardrum. After Beowulf severs his arm, Grendel escapes back to his cave and dies. Grendel's mother swears revenge. In thanks for defeating the monster, Hrothgar gives Beowulf his golden drinking horn, which commemorates Hrothgar's victory over the dragon Fafnir.

Grendel's mother travels to Heorot and slaughters Beowulf's men in the night. Hrothgar informs Beowulf and Beowulf's best friend Wiglaf that Grendel's mother is the last of the Water Demons. Hrothgar's adviser, Unferth, offers Beowulf his sword Hrunting to slay Grendel's mother. Beowulf and Wiglaf travel to the demon's cave, where Beowulf enters alone and confronts the demon, who takes the form of a gold-covered naked woman. He tries to kill her but she uses magic to melt Hrunting, after which she seduces Beowulf and promises to make him king in exchange for the horn and a son. Beowulf accepts the deal and they kiss.

Beowulf returns to Heorot with Grendel's head and announces that he has killed Grendel's mother. He recounts embellished stories of a fight, claiming that he left Hrunting impaled in Grendel's mother and lost the horn in the battle. In private, Hrothgar asks Beowulf if he truly killed Grendel's mother. Despite Beowulf's calling her a hag, Hrothgar is not fooled. The king indirectly reveals that he had also been seduced by the demon, their tryst resulting in Grendel. As a shocked Beowulf realizes the implication that demon's curse has now been passed on to him, Hrothgar declares Beowulf to be king upon his death. He then jumps from the castle parapet onto the sea below to his death. Grendel's mother claims Hrothgar's corpse and the crowd kneels to the newly crowned King Beowulf, fulfilling their bargain.

Fifty years later,[3] the elderly Beowulf is the estranged husband of Wealtheow, who has converted to Christianity. Beowulf has a mistress, Ursula, but his tryst with Grendel's mother has left him sterile. On the anniversary of his victory against Grendel, Unferth returns the horn, which was found on the moors. That night, a nearby village is razed by a dragon. It transforms into a golden humanoid figure, who gives a message to Beowulf: the sins of the father have returned to him (referencing the Faustian bargain that he agreed to). Beowulf confesses to Wealtheow about his affair with Grendel's mother and they reconcile.

Beowulf and Wiglaf go to the cave, and Beowulf enters alone. When Grendel's mother appears, Beowulf throws her the horn, but she refuses it. The dragon attacks Beowulf's castle, threatening Wealtheow and Ursula. Beowulf arms himself and confronts the dragon. After a grueling fight, Beowulf kills the dragon by ripping its heart out, severing his own arm and losing his sword in the process. The dragon transforms into its golden humanoid form, before being washed out to sea. A dying Beowulf reveals to Wiglaf his affair with Grendel's mother and his son's identity, but Wiglaf insists on keeping his legacy intact.

As the new king, Wiglaf gives Beowulf a Norse funeral. Wiglaf finds the horn and sees Grendel's mother give Beowulf a final kiss as his burning ship sinks into the sea. Grendel's mother floats on the water's surface and seductively beckons Wiglaf towards her. He wades into the sea with the horn, before pausing halfway in the surf. They both stare at each other with Grendel's mother waiting and Wiglaf tempted, but showing resistance.
