SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
For centuries most historians believed that King Arthur was
only a legend, but that legend was based on a real hero whose
actions changed the face of Britain and the world forever.
Clive Owen, is 'Artorius' or Arthur, the hero of Roman and
British parentage eulogized in the ancient Celtic poem. Like
his loyal Knights, he sees only chaos and devastation will
follow Rome's final pullout of Britain. Although, as a dedicated
Christian he is desperate to return to Rome to influence the
budding religion, his first loyalty is to his pagan Knights.
Arthur sees his duty is to free them from their servitude
to Rome so they may return to their ancestral homeland in
Sarmatia.
However, before he can, he must lead his Knights of the Round
Table on one last mission, deep into enemy territory on a
quest of adventure and profound enlightenment. Here, Arthur,
Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, Dagonet and Gawain are forced
to confront their traditional enemy: Merlin and his indigenous
guerilla armies. Disdainfully called 'Woads' by the Knights
for the Woad plant they use to dye their bodies, Arthur and
his Knights will see these guerillas are the soul of Britain,
devastated by generations of Roman rule. Now, with Rome gone,
and without the help of Arthur and his knights, the invading
Saxons will roll over the people like an avalanche.
Under the guidance of the shaman, Merlin and the beautiful,
courageous Guinevere (Keira Knightley), Arthur will struggle
to find the strength to fors ke his dreams of Rome to 'become
a leader in this land,' and to change the face of history.
Thrilling adventure, edge-of-your-seat action and historical
grandeur come together in this unique look at the origins
of one of the greatest legends ever told.
