Kingdom of Heaven

Balian of Ibelin travels to Jerusalem during the crusades of the 12th century, and there he finds himself as the defender of the city and its people.

Still in grief over his wife's sudden death, village blacksmith Balian joins his long-estranged father, as a crusader on the road to Jerusalem. After a perilous journey to the holy city, the valiant young man enters the retinue of the leprous King Baldwin IV, which is rife with dissent led by the treacherous Guy de Lusignan, who wishes to wage war against the Muslims for his own political and personal gain.
