Ironclad

After ruthless, power-hungry, tyrannical King John (Paul Giamatti) breaks his word to the English people, ignores the Magna Carta he signed in 1215, and makes a deal with a French Army captain (Vladimir Kulich) and his mercenaries to support his cause of reclaiming the English throne in this factually inspired, bloody violent, star-studded (Derek Jacobi, Charles Dance, and Kate Mara) film, a handful of men, including sword-wielding Templar Knights (James Purefoy and Jason Flemyng), a tenacious baron (Brian Cox), a greenhorn squire (Aneurin Barnard), and a hard-fighting ruffian (Jamie Foreman), try to prevent the king from taking strategic Rochester Castle in southern England.
