Breathtaking Rochester Castle provides the ultimate setting for this medieval adventure set right at this very spot - a rare treat to catch an epic historic film ‘on location’.

In 13th-century England, a small group of Knights Templar fight to defend the castle against the tyrannical and despised King John. It is the year 1215 and the rebel barons of England have forced King John to put his royal seal to the Magna Carta, a noble, seminal document that upheld the rights of free-men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule. Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel’s momentous struggle for justice and freedom.

With a top-notch cast including Paul Giamatti, Charles Dance, James Purefoy and Derek Jacobi.
