PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Eight years after the battle of Falkirk and the fall of William Wallace, Robert the Bruce (ANGUS MACFADYEN) crowns himself King and takes the cause of Scotland’s freedom as his own. But he cannot overcome England’s power. Defeated again and again, his army scatters, and The King of England places a bounty on his head. He finds himself alone, wounded and hunted by the very soldiers he once led. When he is discovered by a young boy whose father died fighting the battles alongside The Bruce, both his life and Scotland’s history are changed forever. This boy, his mother (ANNA HUTCHISON), and two orphans save the Bruce’s life and nurse him back to health. He becomes a part of their unique family \u2013 and they become the first soldiers in his new army \u2013 as he sets out to claim the long-awaited freedom of Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.5\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The film is presented with a 1080p high-definition transfer and 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio. The picture looks quite impressive, detail on the close-up shots were sharp and well defined and although most of the film takes place in snowy locales, there are a few splashes of color here and there, specifically the few scenes that were actually shot in Scotland (the majority of the film was filmed in Montana).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The disc includes a somewhat strong DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track which comes to life during the battle sequences along with the clear dialogue coming through the center channel. This isn\u2019t the type of lossless track that will impress or give your surround system a workout, but still was effective.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
