Knightfall

KNIGHTFALL is a docudrama that tells the story about the Knights Templar and their efforts to protect Christianity during a volatile period in history. Landry (Tom Cullen), Godfrey (Sam Hazeldine), Tancrede (Simon Merrells), and Gawain (Pádraic Delaney) are members of the powerful and wealthy secret brotherhood of warrior monks fighting on behalf of the Holy See. When they are not fighting battles in the Holy Land to preserve the faith and its most important relics, they remain in France to defend Christians and Jews who need to be protected from brutal marauders and other injustices. But the efforts of Pope Boniface VIII (Jim Carter) to usurp the authority of European kings leads to strife between the Vatican, for whom they fight, and their king, Phillip IV of France (Ed Stoppard), which puts the members of the Catholic military order in a difficult position. Meanwhile, their own human frailties lead to dark secrets and painful betrayals. The work of the mysterious order is complicated, but they are driven by their mission and are willing to pay for it with their lives.
