"rick Wakeman" King Arthur on Ice

When satellites spot a strange, 2,000-year-old structure in Wales, some suspect a secret connection to King Arthur; using modern-day technology and ancient texts, experts investigate new leads that could point to the mythical Round Table.

Robbed of his birthright, Arthur comes up the hard way in the back alleys of the city. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy - whether he likes it or not.

Nach dem Tod seines Vaters Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana) treibt sich der junge Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) mit seiner Bande von Straßenjungen in den Gassen Londons herum. Er hat keine Ahnung, welches königliche Leben ihm eigentlich zustehen würde – bis zu dem Moment, da er das sagenumwobene Schwert Excalibur aus dem Stein zieht. Mit dessen Macht ausgestattet, muss er sich seinen eigenen Dämonen stellen und für sein Volk gegen den tyrannischen Herrscher Vortigern (Jude Law) antreten, der seine Eltern getötet und ihm die Krone gestohlen hat. King Arthur verbündet sich mit dem Widerstand, zu dem auch die geheimnisvolle Mage (Astrid Bergès-Frisbey) gehört, und macht sich daran, seinen Thron zurückzuerobern.

After four centuries of Roman occupation and leadership, the Romans up and left, leaving the nation vulnerable to an invading Anglo-Saxon horde - or at least that's what the fragmentary historical texts record.

With exclusive access to a major new excavation, Alice Roberts pulls together all the latest evidence to reveal what Dark Age Britain was really like. In the fifth century, the future of Britain hung in the balance; after four centuries of straight roads and hot and cold running water the Romans upped and left, called back to support their own ailing Empire. The country quickly descended into chaos, plunging the native population into poverty and instability as their livelihoods - many dependent on the Romans - disappeared almost overnight.
