after centuries of peace between the Mage and the regular people Mordred the Mage decides that peace is no fun let's give War a chance he attacks the britons with dark magic giant War beasts and a huge Army by the time he gets to Camelot it seems like it's all over for King Uther his brother vordigern tells him to surrender but Uther goes hold my crown he would accept surrender hold the crown then he simply finds Mordred and ends the whole mess with one swing of his magical sword the legendary Excalibur Camelot should be back to
peace time but it's not what happens bordigern and a few others are still punishing the Mage people for what Mordred did Sir betavir speaks to the court and defends the maid he reminds the king that it was one of them Merlin who gave him the Excalibur they are not bad people they just had an evil leader and now he's gone someone mentions that vort adjourn and Mordred were once classmates in the same sorcery course which was a diplomatic move back then King Uther agrees with sir batavier and decides to stop all aggression against the Mage
his brother doesn't look so happy about that in the middle of the night King Uther wakes up his family in a hurry to flee the castle I need you to do as I tell you Camelot is burning outside Ford adjourn is also leading the way to his own wife but he's not trying to protect her they creep down a secret path that leads to a dark pit under the castle and there he ends her life unfortunately uther's wife has a similar fate soon after someone attacks the family when they reach the docks their little boat
looks empty and it floats away untie the skiff eventually arriving in the big city of londinium some women go check inside and guess who's there a deeply traumatized Crown Prince but for those women little Arthur is nothing but a poor little orphan so while vort adjourn becomes the new King Arthur is raised in a busy brothel having a very rough childhood patiently saving every coin he's given and watching in silence when the customers get violent he ends up much more StreetWise than he could have ever been as a little prince in the castle as little
Arthur becomes young Arthur both his patience and his silence just vanish tough training takes up most of his days while his Knights are filled with nightmares about his mother and a burning City wakes up to a little surprise the water is mysteriously gone from around the castle which revealed the Excalibur stuck into a large Rock get them back to work very upset about that the King goes to that shady pit again he's there to talk to the siren a chatty sea monster with a few attached ladies the king starts whining about the deal they had
he gave up his own life in exchange for power so how come that sword is showing up now the siren says balance is inescapable when any power grows the opposite power must follow she's basically saying he should have read the fine print also it was him who managed to lose both the boy and the sword that night if he wants to control the sword he needs to find Arthur and get rid of him the siren then says that if he needs any extra help he already knows the price you know the prize at the brothel
in londinium Arthur is a grown man now he takes pride in looking after the ladies who once looked after him that means someone is going to pay for these bruises on Lucy's face in fact that someone happens to be a viking and he has already paid Arthur gives her money bags with the equivalent to a Year's work Lucy asks how come he made a viking pay that much but he prefers to leave that part to Her Imagination then the back legs arrive they are King vordajern's guards and everybody hates them probably because of this habit
of pestering people about the resistance it seems that one of the rebels attacked the king's bow upriver and there's reason to believe the guy is hiding here not sure you're too welcome here mate they describe both the man and what would happen to those harboring him Arthur identifies the person of their interest and the guards take him away but the black legs Sergeant stays a little longer the truth is Arthur has been putting those savings to good use which includes having a few important people in his pocket the sergeant wants to speak with Arthur and
his friends black lack and wet stick at first it looks like they're in trouble but what's really happening is just that he's giving them a heads up the king is getting annoyed but the recent rumors about the born King and some graffiti about that has turned up a man is so popular I'm surprised I don't they deny any knowledge about it but everyone knows a little boy who's been drawing stuff like that on the walls that boy's name is blue and he is black lack's son and then on top of all that the sergeant warns
Arthur that those Vikings from before are under Royal protection it could get ugly if they tell anyone about their not so friendly visit earlier today Arthur doesn't seem too worried about any of that in the castle a black lag officer named Mercia is talking to the king about the same stuff since the sword showed up there's been a rise in incidents and graffiti about the born King Fort adjourn calls Maggie a woman from the oldest family in the Kingdom to ask her opinion on all this she says that people love him but her face is
telling a very different story that's the thing about being a ruthless Tyrant she's from one of the oldest families in England you'll never get an honest opinion from anyone again the king tells Mercia they need to finish the tower of Camelot and when they do none of this will matter Ford adjourn's magical powers are connected to the tower as part of his deal with the siren the brothel backlack wakes up Arthur telling him to get out the black lags are coming for him he escapes through the window but ends up running into some of them
in the street they check his wrist for something called the brand and he doesn't have it so they put him on a boat with a bunch of other guys in the same situation when they arrive in Camelot we see what they mean by the brand tired of sleeping with an eye open since the sword resurfaced vort adjourn is forcing the entire male population to take the Excalibur test [Music] if you pull it with both hands and nothing happens you're free to go and to prove you have already passed the test you get branded Arthur simply
ignores the very long line of dudes and just walks up to the rock some black legs are just chilling nearby happy to have been assigned such an easy task since this born King stuff was probably all nonsense then Arthur grabs Excalibur and it comes out with no effort there's even a minor earthquake the black lags stare at him like oh no he didn't but it turns out they don't even need to lift a finger Arthur is neutralized by his own sword passing out with all that energy once that's very convenient for vort adjourn by the
time Arthur comes to his senses he's locked up in a dungeon and the King already knows everything about him Arthur says he's just another brothel baby not royalty material at all he'll just drift away never to be heard of again the king doubts that because now he has his coffers and knows about all of his achievements if he gathered all that power as a common orphan what's he gonna do now he's the born King somewhere in the Kingdom another interesting conversation is taking place a beautiful lady in a dark Hood pays a visit to Sir
bedevier she's a mage sent by Merlin to guide the born King and she's asking sir bedovir to help her do you know who I am Arthur is taken to the king who seems to be getting ready for a battle he says there are thousands of people outside right now and they're here to see Arthur everyone is talking about the born King instead of asking him why all these people can't wait to see that crown on a different head board adjourn sees an opportunity to put on a scary show at this point the guards bring Lucy
to them and end her life just to show Arthur what's gonna happen to the others if he doesn't cooperate Mercia and Mischief John start the presentation bringing the so-called born King before the crowd he's offered Excalibur to defend himself and the people are disappointed to see him refusing to take it their mood is Shifting fast now and they haven't come all this way for nothing so everyone starts getting ready for an execution what they don't know is that the Mage and her friends are also there Blended in and those are just her human friends the
Mage has a deep connection with animals that's why we see an eagle attacking the executor while all the horses and dogs have gone crazy it's a complete chaos And the guard's priority is to protect the king so this is the cue for the Rebels first of all and Rubio caught Arthur loose get the sword and then run for their lives Arthur's taken to the rebels headquarters and he tries to hide a surprise to see Bill there safe and sound sir bedevier is there too and he's not a very tactful person he tells Arthur that the
black legs have torched his home and now he has no life to get back to the rebels are anxious to see Arthur in action so they start provoking him he's completely aware of what's happening but he bites anyway during the fight the Excalibur kicks in again and his eyes go all turquoise you are resisting the sword before he passes out images from that night start coming back to him he wakes up to the Mage working her Voodoo around the sword she tells him to stop resisting The Sword and the bad dreams will go away as
he remains resistant to face his past they take him to the dark lands that's a place hidden in a distant Island where rats are the size of a pony and the bats can carry a full-grown man for Miles that seems to be the rebels idea of a crash course and it does work all beaten up and certainly scarred for life Arthur gets the sword to the stone altar where everything clicks together he finally remembers what happened to him that night there's a skull-faced creature right behind them at the Docks that's who hits the queen king
Uther leaves the boy inside the boat to fight back but skull face wins Uther flips up the Excalibur in the air and when it falls back the king is turning into stone skull face comes closer and he's also transforming he's now back into his human form which of course is that scheming traitor vord adjourn the rock that used to be Uther falls into the ocean carrying the sword away after this extreme therapeutic intervention Arthur's rescued from the island the Mage tells him the rest of the story then Fort adjourn didn't take Camelot because of political
differences with his brother they were murdered by your uncle he was always a two-faced rat when he studied magic with Mordred he talked him into the dark stuff promising to share the power once they took over Camelot then they started acting out their plan Merlin forged the Excalibur and gave it to the Lady of the Lake she gave it to Uther and since then the sword is bound to his bloodline when they get back to the headquarters Arthur's old friends are there too they all get together and plan a hit on the king as Camelot
is too heavily guarded they decide to lure him into the City by sabotaging the construction of his Tower the only problem is that Arthur and the Excalibur are not getting along yet every time he touches the sword he gets a bunch of flashbacks but no extra power like it used to happen to his dad still they stick to the plan and in a few days they have a surprise visitor it's Maggie that woman from the oldest family you need to be careful she came to tell them that vort adjourn will be here in three days
and he's coming by both she also tells them to be careful his power is growing fast now that they have some more data they can plan the attack in detail but it's still a long shot literally it's a 170 yard shot from a window in the only building they can get in also keeping the hope of getting out bill says he can do it but as the others seem to doubt it he shows them twice when the day comes everything seems to go as planned Arthur even says it looks too easy that's because the whole
thing is a trap they have a decoy King standing there pretty much wearing a Target on his back while the real king is still on the boat having a little chat with poor Maggie but remember our heroes used to run a business in a big city and it's not so easy to trick them some are infiltrated among the crowd and they signal to Bill indicating the Trap however it turns out that once bill has the bow and arrow nothing can stop him it was Clarendon he earned that not even his own friends frantically begging him
to Mercia is right there at the Docks and the opportunity is just too good to miss he shoots the arrow it takes a moment for the guards to understand what's going on when Mercia Falls but soon they're all over the place frisking everyone and shouting orders to close the gates Arthur's gang tried to escape unnoticed but end up engaging in a chaotic battle Rubio and black lag are badly hurt and must be left behind the rest of them make it back to Arthur's old home he urges everyone there to run away but they don't want
to they hate the black legs and they've been training their whole lives for a day like this when the guards swarm the place and an ugly confront is about to start Arthur sees that one of them has the Mage for the first time ever he's not like before when he snaps out of it he's taken all of them down single-handedly people are watching from the windows and there's this whole born King vibe in the air Arthur is not just a legend anymore they make it to the safe house and blue asks about his dad wet
stick tells him he's fine he'll be here in a minute not that stupid the boy runs off he finds black lack and brings him to the others wet stick says they must go right now while there's enough fog to hide their boat from view black lack asks for a minute to rest and the moment they leave him vordigern just waltzes in one of his dogs followed the scent there he starts to interrogate him while they're all getting on the boat blue comes back for his father and Arthur comes after him photojourn finishes off the man
in front of the boy who screams in Anger Arthur has to carry him to their boat all over the city the people start to fight back against the black legs they believe in Arthur now vordigern orders his men to crush the resistance tonight ignoring the fact that it's looking less and less doable thinking of all the people lost to the London Arthur tries to get rid of Excalibur but the Lady of the Lake puts it right back into his hands after showing him a glimpse into what's in store for Camelot if he gives up he's
their only hope back in Camelot we find out that Rubio is alive he's being held for interrogation while Arthur is with his friends in the woods planning to attack the castle the black legs find the rebels headquarters with the information finessed out of Rubio Mischief John is the only one there when they return blue and the Mage have been taken and everyone else is done for I'm ready he delivers the message from the King Arthur must be at the castle before dark if he wants to see the hostages again that night vordiger and looked very
uneasy to see only sir bedovir he wants to trade the Excalibur for the Mage now the king agrees under the condition that Arthur himself will come tomorrow once she's free again the Mage works out her magic and conjures up a snake Arthur agrees to get Benton to receive a protective Venom while he's on his way to the castle the eagle is flying the snake there too Arthur turns himself in and vortiger and takes the Excalibur to execute him that's when the snake attacks but vort adjourn is faster he almost Giggles proud of having frustrated that
little magical plan that smile is totally gone though when the snake's mom comes by she takes care of all the guards inside the castle but spares Arthur because he's got the Venom in him Fort adjourn also survives that visit he goes up to his daughter's room finishes her off and then takes her to the siren Arthur picks up the Excalibur from the wall piece of cake for him he walks outside and wipes out the guards but not all of them just the dumb ones the smart guards take a step back and drop their own swords
they have a new king but the old one is not ready to go yet he has turned into skull face and is waiting for Arthur at the unfinished Tower what he doesn't realize is that the connection of the tower itself with the Excalibur makes it all click together just like in the dark lands now in the full control of his sword Arthur finally defeats his uncle and the tower comes tumbling down vort adjourn's reign of terror is finally over after getting all his mates knighted King Arthur Goes On to focus on a little DIY project
of his you can now kneel to England he's trying to put a round table together and this is the end this was a recap of the 2017 movie King Arthur legend of the sword by Warner Brothers Pictures starring Jude Law and Charlie Hunnam so what do you think will happen next is Arthur gonna be a good leader or maybe he should have left that for someone with more experience like sir betavir let us know in the comments below with hashtag Cinema recap until next time
