Gladiator director, Ridley Scott, returns to the epic canvas with Kingdom of Heaven, a film set during the Crusades of the 12th century.
It tells the story of Balian of Ibelin (Orlando Bloom), a young blacksmith who finds himself thrust into a decades-long war. A stranger in a strange land, he serves a doomed king, falls in love with an exotic and forbidden queen and rises to knighthood.
Ultimately, he must protect the people of Jerusalem from overwhelming forces while striving to keep a fragile peace.
