Braveheart
Every man dies, not every man really lives.
Directed by Mel Gibson
Produced by The Ladd Company, Icon Productions
An epic, visceral war drama that channels personal grief into idealistic rebellion, balancing brutal violence with romantic and spiritual conviction.
Enraged at the slaughter of Murron, his new bride and childhood love, Scottish warrior William Wallace slays a platoon of the local English lord's soldiers. This leads the village to revolt and, eventually, the entire country to rise up against English rule.
