Synopsis

 In the late 14th century, Scotland's king has died,
 and left no heir. Ruthless English King Edward I
 (Patrick McGoohan) seizes the throne, thus
 demanding the allegiance of the unwilling Scots.
 William Wallace (Mel Gibson), whose wife
 Murron (Catherine McCormack) is murdered in
 retaliation for his opposition to the King, vows to
 avenge her death--and his father's when William
 was a boy-- by leading his ragged army of fellow
 Scots against overwhelming odds and a powerful
 English army.

 His courageous group of volunteers is
 outnumbered and poorly equipped, but their
 devotion to their cause attracts the attention of
 nobleman Robert the Bruce (Angus MacFadyen).
 Robert and other Scottish nobles are wary of
 fighting against Longshanks, since they have
 been allowed to keep their land; it takes the
 continued determination of Wallace and his
 growing number of men to slowly gain their
 support.

  Longshanks' French-born daughter-in-law,
  Princess Isabelle (Sophie Marceau), is duped
  into delivering a message to Wallace for a
  peaceful surrender; meanwhile, he has already
  ordered troops to trap the unsuspecting Scots.
  Horrified that she has been tricked, the Princess
  sends her servant to alarm Wallace. Unsatisfied
  in her marriage and attracted to Wallace's noble
  cause, she becomes his lover and ally.

  Wallace is eventually captured and mercilessly
  quartered, leaving his men without a leader. The
  army gathers to surrender to the English.
  Guilt-stricken and tormented, Robert the Bruce
  vows not to let Wallace die in vain, and leads the
  heroic Scots into the final battle that wins their
  freedom.

Historical Notes :

- Andrew Murray doesn't appear in the film but he really has been, he leant
  a rebellion in the north in the same time as Wallace and he joined him for
  the battle of Stirling.
- The battle of Stirling is really named the battle of Stirling's bridge. So
  it occured on the banks of a river and not in a plaine as it is for the film.
  As the way was narrow, Wallace could have defeated the English heavy cavalry
  (They didn't use any stake !)

Special English note :
Don't hesitate to replace the sound "bruce.wav" if you can get it from the 
original film version, it would be more realistic !

Special Thanks :
 - Thanks to Erwan for his splendid units.
