Additional information
It is the time of the Crusades during the Dark Ages - the world shaping 200-
year collision between Europe and the East. A blacksmith named Balian has
lost his family and nearly his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off
Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama.
Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love,
grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend
the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form
of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin, a Crusader briefly home to France from
fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him
the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents
to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that moment--between the Second
and Third Crusades--a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its
enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias, and the
military restraint of the legendary Muslim leader Saladin. But Baldwin's days
are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy among the
Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's vision of peace--a
kingdom of heaven--is shared by a handful of knights, including Godfrey of
Ibelin, who swear to uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes
his sword to his son, he also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the
helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions
and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth. Balian takes
the sword and steps into history.
