Betrayed by power. Corrupted by love. Bound by honor. In the battle between good and evil, only the strong survive! From director Paul Verhoeven comes this epic adventure of medieval bravery and blood lust. In Europe of 1510, a warrior named Martin (Rutger Hauer) leads his crew of mercenaries into battle to reclaim the castle of an ousted nobleman. But when the despot betrays them, Martin strikes back by kidnapping the young maiden (Jennifer Jason Leigh) betrothed to the nobleman's son!
