About the film

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Safeguard the helpless, and do no wrong

What it’s about

In 12th-century France, a young blacksmith named Balian flees his home after a personal tragedy and joins a band of crusaders led by the father he never knew. When his father is mortally wounded, he knights Balian, drawing him into a world of political and religious conflict.

What hooks you

Ridley Scott directs a cast that includes Orlando Bloom as Balian, Eva Green as Sibylla, and Liam Neeson as Godfrey de Ibelin. The production was enormous: around 14,000 costumes were made, and three siege towers and four catapults were built. The film won a European Film Academy award for Best Actor, and its screenplay ran to 260 pages, about twice the length of an average Hollywood script.

Who it’s for

It will appeal to those who enjoy sweeping historical epics with large-scale battles and moral dilemmas. Those interested in the Crusades, medieval politics, and stories of personal transformation will find much to engage with.
