CGiii Comment
A flagrantly false account of William Wallace...but, it was a crowd pleaser and a huge box-office smash.
Quite deservedly so - even though we're not too keen on the vile Gibson - he did manage to make a great Hollywood film - a very difficult achievement indeed.
And - in places - it is as camp as tartan tits.

The(ir) Blurb...
William Wallace is a Scottish rebel who leads an uprising against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks, who wishes to inherit the crown of Scotland for himself. When he was a young boy, William Wallace's father and brother, along with many others, lost their lives trying to free Scotland. Once he loses another of his loved ones, William Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, along with the assistance of Robert the Bruce.
