A Roman epic adventure, based on the classic novel of the same name, set
in the dangerous world of second-century Britain. In 140 AD, twenty
years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in
the mountains of Scotland, young centurion Marcus Aquila (Channing
Tatum) arrives from Rome to solve the mystery and restore the reputation
of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Accompanied only by his
British slave Esca (Jamie Bell), Marcus sets out across Hadrian's Wall
into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage
tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost
legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.
