The 13th century Scottish hero William Wallace leads a dispirited nation in a rebellion against oppressive English King Edward I. The story begins with young Wallace, whose father and brother have been killed fighting the English, being taken into the custody of his uncle. He returns twenty years later to find his childhood sweetheart Murron (Catherine McCormack). There are murmurs of revolt against the English, but Wallace wishes simply to tend to his crops and live in peace. However, when his love is killed by English soldiers the day after their secret marriage, he springs into action and single-handedly slays an entire platoon of foot soldiers. The other villagers join him in destroying the English garrison, and thus begins the revolt against the English in what will eventually become full-fledged war. Wallace eventually leads his fellow Scots in a series of bloody battles that prove a serious threat to English domination and, along the way, has a hushed affair with the Princess of Wales (Sophie Marceau).
