A Knight’s Tale

Rousing action scenes and a cheery (if anachronistic) tone drive this medieval romp starring Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a 14th-century squire faced with unemployment when the knight he serves is killed. With help from his sidekicks and a would-be writer named Geoffrey Chaucer, Thatcher dons his late master's armor and becomes a hit on the jousting circuit while wooing a princess (Shannyn Sossamon). With Rufus Sewell, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Laura Fraser. Includes both the theatrical and extended versions; 132 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks: English Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital 5.1; audio commentary by Bettany; deleted scenes; extended scenes; gag reel; featurettes; "making of" documentary; music video; theatrical trailers; TV spot.
