In the year 1215, the rebel barons of England have forced their despised King John to put his royal seal on the Magna Carta, a seminal document that upheld the rights of free men. Yet within months of pledging himself to the great charter, the King reneged on his word and assembled a mercenary army on the south coast of England with the intention of bringing the barons and the country back under his tyrannical rule. Barring his way stood the mighty Rochester castle, a place that would become the symbol of the rebel's momentous struggle for justice and freedom.

A movie I personally believe every young man should see at some point in their life. Although violent and gory, it captures a story worth telling (if you pay attention); that being that sometimes men must fight for and defend those that can't defend themselves as part of their God given self-sacrificial calling. Not the best quality film, but definitely an entertaining one of heart and conviction, which is worth more than the most. Unfortunately, everything I praise about the story get trampled on by the sequel. The character development of the squire (young man) is completely lost on Ironclad 2 making me think it wasn't even intended. With that said, if you watch this film for what it is alone I think it has something special. I showed both my boys this film as a right of passage entering into high school as a reminder that we must choose our character and our friends wisely.
