Braveheart | Hitchens Virtual Theatre

Mel Gibson stars on both sides of the camera, playing the lead role plus directing and producing this brawling, richly-detailed saga of fierce combat, tender love and the will to risk all that's precious for something more precious: freedom. In an emotionally charged performance, Gibson is William Wallace, a bold Scotsman who used the steel of his blade and the fire of his intellect to rally his country-men to liberation. Filled with sword-clanging spectacle, 'Braveheart' is a tumultuous tapestry of history come alive, "the most sumptuous and involving historical epic since 'Lawrence of Arabia' " (Rod Lurie, 'Los Angeles Magazine').

Synopsis: Sweeping kilted epic about ye olde Scottish revolutionary William Wallace and his band of brigands' fight against the British. He's living peaceably at first but then they go and kill the love of his life. So starts the British bloodletting, and a secret affair with the Princess of Wales.
