Braveheart

Plot

It is the 13th century. Scotland is occupied by the English, whose king is the cruel Edward I. A commoner from the highlands, William Wallace, is so passionate in his hatred of the English, and so charismatic, that he raises and organises an army to fight the English. William Wallace is also a great battle strategist - for instance he has the idea of using long raised stakes to kill the much-feared English cavalry. But Wallace's brave and bold attempt to fight off the occupying forces causes rifts in the Scottish nobility - they have vested interests to protect.
