Outlaw King (2018)
Braveheart himself, William Wallace, reappears in this list, but he is less a fearsome warrior and more a piece of drawn and quartered corpse. The Outlaw King is the tale of Braveheart’s other character inspiration, Robert the Bruce, depicted by Chris Pine. Robert the Bruce becomes the face of the Scottish resistance to English rule. The film captures the turbulent period between 1304 and 1307, as Robert the Bruce becomes King of Scots and takes up arms against the English. The film includes the Battle of Loudon Hill with Scots fighting the forces led by Edward II, who takes up the mantle after the death of his father, King Edward I. Robert the Bruce is outnumbered, but still prevails. After a swordfight similar to one earlier in the film, Robert the Bruce takes King Edward II captive. While Robert the Bruce had the new King in his grip, he released him.
