About this movie

Robert the Bruce' is a hard-hitting historical epic covering the turbulent time after William Wallace's victories depicted in 'Braveheart'. Scotland 1306, Robert the Bruce (Angus Macfadyen: 'Braveheart') crowns himself King and takes the ambition of Scotland's freedom as his own. But he cannot overcome England's power: defeated again and again, his army is scattered and Scotland's nobility abandons him. Hunted, with a price on his head, he finds himself alone and wounded. The cause of freedom seems lost once more. Hidden secretly in a secluded croft of a clan pledged to England, and close to death Robert is nursed back to life by a young widow and her orphaned children. His determination to do what is right, regardless of the cost, reinvigorates his passion to rise again. But it's not revenge he desires. It's freedom. Now. Also starring Daniel Portman ('Game of Thrones') Anna Hutchinson ('Cabin in the Woods'), Jared Harris ('The Crown'), Zach McGowan ('Black Sails', 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'), Patrick Fugit ('Almost Famous'), Kevin McNally ('Pirates of the Caribbean') and Emma Kenney ('Shameless') and featuring original music from Scottish national treasure, Lulu.

Absolute garbage and boring made up fairytale for girls and deluded nats just like braveheart about 86% historically innacuarate. Robert the Bruce was nothing but a shameful murderer and never a true king as he lured the real heir to the throne under a truce banner (no weapons allowed) to a church and proceed to slaughter the guy inside the church cutting his throat and then seizing the throne for himself. Scotlands shame just like the SNP a deluded fairytale! FREEEEEEEDUMB!

The only thing dumber than people complaining about entertainment not being historically accurate is the fact the expect entertainment to be historically accurate. Scotland have Burns Night which celebrates a poet who literally did the same thing. Made historically inaccurate entertainment.
