Chrysagon, an 11th-century Norman knight and warlord sent to govern a remote Druid village, is torn between duty and passion when he falls for Bronwyn, the chieftain's son's betrothed. Manipulated into invoking an ancient rite that ignites forbidden love, Chrysagon refuses to release Bronwyn, triggering betrayal, revolt, and war.

TV Guide

An intelligent historical drama, exciting and atmospheric while never losing sight of the human passions that are its driving force.

TIME Magazine

Runs on and on and on, but proves nothing whatever about the survival of the fittest.

Heston is more convincing in his battle scenes than in romancing Rosemary Forsyth, but nevertheless delivers a hard-hitting performance.

Lumbering sword and shield tale with Heston.
