🛡️ Plot Overview

Set in 10th-century England, the film follows Uhtred of Bebbanburg (played by Alexander Dreymon) as he navigates a fractured kingdom following the death of King Edward. With the throne contested by Edward’s sons—Aethelstan and Aelfweard—and other rival kings vying for power, England teeters on the brink of civil war.

Uhtred, a seasoned warrior and reluctant hero, is drawn into the conflict to ensure peace for his people in Northumbria.
