Movie Storyline
It is the year 1215 and the rebel barons of England have forced their despised 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.

Goofs:
Plot holes: As Thomas Marshall walks around the castle checking the defenses, he looks out and suddenly realizes "we have a problem - no moat". (In fact, all sides of Rochester Castle that don't face directly on to the river had, and still have, a moat.) But he couldn't possibly have failed to notice as he rode in whether there was a moat or not.

Quotes:
Marshall: [From trailer] Have you ever killed a man, squire? It is not a noble thing. Not even when it is for God!
