William Thatcher, a knight's peasant apprentice, gets a chance at glory when the knight dies suddenly mid-tournament. Posing as a knight himself, William won't stop until he's crowned tournament champion—assuming matters of the heart don't get in the way.

As soon as this film opened to a joust with we will rock you I knew I was going to love it. Me and the boys gambling and pre drinking the jousting tournament. Paul Bettanys bum.
