Ben Foster is going Medieval with Michael Caine in trailer for historical epic

July 29, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

Historical epic Medieval has assembled an impressive cast to place in formation on the frontline of battle in this tale of corruption and Kings in the Middle Ages.

Led by Ben Foster’s mercenary for hire, the Petr Jákl directed film also stars Michael Caine (The Dark Knight Trilogy), Sophie Lowe (Blow the Man Down), Til Schweiger (Inglorious Basterds), and Matthew Goode (A Discovery of Witches). Check out the trailer below… 

Inspired by the true story of Jan Žižka, one of greatest warriors in history. After the death of its reigning emperor, the Holy Roman Empire is plummeting into chaos while feuding brothers King Wenceslas of Czech and King Sigismund of Hungary battle for control of the empty throne. Daring and righteous mercenary leader Jan Zizka (Ben Foster) is hired by Lord Boresh (Michael Caine) to kidnap the powerful Lord Rosenberg’s (Til Schweiger) fiancée, Lady Katherine (Sophie Lowe), to prevent Rosenberg’s rise to power alongside the corrupt King Sigismund.

Jan believes that Kings are the right hand of God and should be respected and obeyed, no matter what. As Katherine becomes caught in a dangerous political game between the monarchs, Jan falls in love with her strong spirit and dedication to saving the people. In a brave attempt to liberate her, he fights back with a rebel army to battle the corruption, greed and betrayal rampant amongst those clawing for power. Jan now realizes that the fate of the Empire will be decided by his love for Lady Katherine and that his fate doesn’t lie in the hands of Kings, but in the hands of his own people.

Medieval is released exclusively in cinemas on September 9th.
