In this spectacular, historic film a young Scotsman William Wallace (Mel Gibson) became a hero of his country, fighting against the aggressive rule of the English King Edward I. After the death of his father and brother, killed by English soldiers, young William was raised (воспитывался) by his uncle abroad.

Years later Wallace returned to his father’s farm with an intention to lead a quiet life. He fell in love with Murron and married her but their happiness didn’t last for long. Though Wallace tried to rescue Murron from English soldiers, the aggressors caught her and killed her right in the marketplace. He decided to pay back. Wallace and a few men from his village killed the English soldiers and the sheriff and entered the fortress of the local English lord, killing him and burning the fortress down.

This action was like a signal for his countrymen. They saw him as their leader to fight against the English King. In their first battle in 1297 the Scots won. Wallace became popular and more and more Scottish people followed him into the war.

But William Wallace was betrayed (был предан) by the Scottish landlords, who tried to get more land for themselves from the English King, and lost the battle in 1298. Though he was saved from death by young Robert the Bruce, who later became King of Scotland Robert I, Wallace had to go into hiding for seven years and fight a guerilla war (партизанская война) against the English. His courage charmed a lot of people, including King Edward’s daughter-in-law (невестка) Princess Isabelle. At the end of the film the English caught Wallace and took him to London where he was beheaded.

During the movie you see a lot of great battles and two heartbreaking love stories (first between Wallace and Murron, later in the film young Princess Isabelle fell in love with Wallace). This film is a gripping story about love, hatred, patriotism and heroism. When you watch it, you understand why it won five Oscars. You can watch this movie over and over again and it never loses its magic. It is a movie which both men and women will adore: men will love the great battles and women will enjoy the love story.
