Synopsis:
One of the finest historical adventure films ever made, The War Lord dramatises with uncommon intelligence and integrity the brutality, difficulties and injustices of the Middle Ages. Charlton Heston stars as Chrysagon, an honoured knight who takes over a castle tower in the swampland of Normandy to strengthen his duke's authority. But his struggles to maintain power in the face of Pagan villagers, barbarian attackers and his brother's jealous counsel are shaken by his growing weariness with bloodshed in a cruel world.

Excellent Medieval Drama - The War Lord review by CD

Spoiler Alert
15/07/2023

This is a really good medieval tale, set in Normandy in the 11th century.  Charlton Heston and the cast are excellent and the story is well told.  The added bonuses are the musical score, film-set and the camera work, all excellent.  There is an exciting and convincing Castle siege and the film assumes Shakespearean proportions as it evolves.  Very impressive and much recommended.
