The official movie tie-in, timed to coincide with the UK release of Touchstone`s major summer blockbuster on 30th July, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. In what is essentially a prequel to Knights of the Round Table, Arthur has been appointed by the Roman Empire to defeat a bloodthirsty Saxon conqueror and his army, which is a dozen times the size of Arthur`s own. Under the taunting of Merlin and haunted by the fact that his small band only has a slim chance at survival, Arthur is determined to succeed in this charge - and in the pursuit of Guinevere`s heart.
