"This is the heart of Camelot, not these stones, not these timbers, these palaces and towers. Burn them all and Camelot lives on, because it lives in us. Camelot is a belief that we hold in our hearts." ~King Arthur~ |

versions in that all the romanticized mythology and magic have been stripped away to examine the more realistic conflicts the characters may have experienced as they tried to balance their passions with their political obligations. The story begins as Guinevere, Lady of Leonesse, sees her once-peaceful lands overtaken by the tyrannical renegade ex-knight from the Round Table, Malagant. She decides to marry King Arthur because it would forge a valuable political alliance. Unfortunately, en route to the wedding, she is abducted by Malagant and saved by the vagabond knight Lancelot. He finds himself drawn to Guinevere and kisses her, but she refuses to go further, so they head for Camelot. Just before the wedding, Malagant again abducts Guinevere and takes her to a dark dungeon, where Lancelot defies the odds and saves her. Once again, the knight's attempts at seduction are rebuffed. Then Arthur makes Lancelot a member of his table. Soon after the wedding, the royal couple learn that Malagant has taken his revenge by destroying Leonesse. A battle ensues and the villain is defeated. The following day, Lancelot comes to Guinevere before leaving Camelot. They kiss and Arthur sees them. He is crushed and orders them both sentenced for treason. In the middle of their public trial, Malagant makes a final attempt to overtake Camelot; medieval mayhem ensues. -- Sandra Brennan, All-Movie Guide
