I like to recomend about: The 13th Warrior (from 1999)" In the year of our Lord, 922 AD, an arabian poet and nobleman, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan, offers his love to a woman whose hand is already claimed by another. As suspicions are raised, the woman's outraged and vindictive husbond - a man of substantial power in Baghdad - arranges for the Kalif to exile the nobleman under the poor guise of an ambassadorship to the North. Ahmad Ibn Fadlan has no choise but to accept, and so he finds himself onto the barren steppes of the Ukraine, acompanying a camel carravan and joined in his travels by Melchisidek, an old friend of his father's. Under attack by the Tartars - a band of nomadic thieves and killers - the carravan happens upon a river encampment of Norsemen, and at the mere sight of the Viking warriors the Tartars end their pursuit and retreat, leaving Ahmad Ibn Fadlan and the rest of the caravan to hesitantly seek refuge with the imfamous people from the North. The next day a messenger arrives, telling the Vikings of a great evil that has gripped their kingdom - an evil whose name shall remain unspoken. The new chieftain, Buliwyf, summons the Oracle, and in reading the bones she calls for thirteen warriors. But... The thriteenth warrior can not be a Northman. Thus, Ahmad Ibn Fadlan ends up the chosen one, and reluctantly he sets out along with the twelve other men to aid King Hrothgar in defending the tattered remains of his kingdom from the Wendol - The Eaters of the Dead.

I would recommend Braveheart, which was directed and stars Mel Gibson... "Braveheart is a 1995 historical action-drama movie produced and directed by Mel Gibson, who also starred in the title role. The film was written for screen and then novelized by Randall Wallace. Gibson portrays a legendary Scot, William Wallace, who gained recognition when he came to the forefront of the First War of Scottish Independence by opposing Edward I of England (portrayed by Patrick McGoohan) and subsequently abetted by Edward's daughter-in-law Princess Isabelle (played by Sophie Marceau) and a claimant to the Scottish throne, Robert the Bruce (played by Angus Macfadyen)." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braveheart |

I recommend on 10000 bcwww.10000bcmovie.com/ " In a remote mountain tribe, the young hunter, D'Leh, has found his heart's passion - the beautiful Evolet. When a band of mysterious warlords raid his village and kidnap Evolet, D'Leh is forced to lead a small group of hunters to pursue the warlords to the end of the world to save her. Driven by destiny, the unlikely band of warriors must battle smilodons and prehistoric predators and, at their heroic journey's end, they uncover a Lost Civilization. Their ultimate fate lies in an empire beyond imagination, where great pyramids reach into the skies. Here they will take their stand against a powerful god who has brutally enslaved their people.

It is.. But I don't want to be a spoiler....
Another great movie is Gladiator (from 2000)" Ridley Scott (BLADE RUNNER, ALIEN) transports Hollywood to second-century Rome in this rousing historical epic that proudly harkens back to such films as BEN-HUR and SPARTACUS. Russell Crowe plays Maximus, a Roman general who leads the troops in conquering Germania for the empire. When an aging Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) tells Maximus that he'd like him to rule Rome once he's gone, a classic confrontation ensues between the brave and charming soldier--who wants to return home to his wife, son, and farm--and the jealous and conniving Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), the emperor's only son, who is thirsty for power. Bought as a slave by the profiteering Proximo (Oliver Reed, in his last role), Maximus must kill or be killed in the ring, battling to save not only himself but the future of the very empire that he loves and honors. The film features a terrific battle sequence (that recalls the beginning of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN), huge crowd scenes of thousands of people, and even a little romance, albeit mostly taboo. The impeccably choreographed gladiator scenes are violent yet thrilling, flashing by like lightning. GLADIATOR is a glorious spectacle filled with heart and soul " www.rottentomatoes.com/m/gladiator/#synopsis

Kingdom of Heaven" "Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Speak the truth, always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath..." Director Ridley Scott is the master of epic cinematic storytelling with a deeply personal core, as he has shown in films like Gladiator, Blade Runner, and Black Hawk Down. In KINGDOM OF HEAVEN he now turns to the Crusades — that world-shaping 200-year collision between Europe and the East — to frame the tale of a young Frenchman who discovers his destiny as a knight, then lives out what that glorious title really means. Orlando Bloom stars as Balian, a blacksmith who has lost his family and nearly lost his faith. The religious wars raging in the far-off Holy Land seem remote to him, yet he is pulled into that immense drama. Amid the pageantry and intrigues of medieval Jerusalem he falls in love, grows into a leader, and ultimately uses all his courage and skill to defend the city against staggering odds. Destiny comes seeking Balian in the form of a great knight, Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson), a Crusader briefly home to France from fighting in the East. Revealing himself as Balian's father, Godfrey shows him the true meaning of knighthood and takes him on a journey across continents to the fabled Holy City. In Jerusalem at that moment — between the Second and Third Crusades — a fragile peace prevails, through the efforts of its enlightened Christian king, Baldwin IV, aided by his advisor Tiberias (Jeremy Irons), and the military restraint of the legendary Muslim leader Saladin (Ghassan Massoud). But Baldwin's days are numbered, and strains of fanaticism, greed, and jealousy among the Crusaders threaten to shatter the truce. King Baldwin's vision of peace — a "kingdom of heaven" — is shared by a handful of knights, including Godfrey of Ibelin, who swear to uphold it with their lives and honor. As Godfrey passes his sword to his son, he also passes on that sacred oath: to protect the helpless, safeguard the peace, and work toward harmony between religions and cultures, so that a kingdom of heaven can flourish on earth. Balian takes the sword and steps into history." www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kingdom_of_heaven/#synopsis
