Braveheart
(1995)
Synopsis
Based on historical events, this epic tells the story of legendary Scotsman William Wallace, a courageous and noble young man who fights for his country's freedom in the midst of 13th century British oppression.
Newly wedded to the village beauty, all Wallace wants is peace in his homeland. Like others in his country, he is weary of the British ravaging villages and abducting wives. After one particularly devastating pillage, Wallace rallies his countrymen and starts the battle cry for freedom. Knowing full well what they're up against, Wallace leads his people in one of history's most gut-wrenching quests for liberation. Full of ripe detail, this adventurous saga will linger in your memory.
