"What man is a man who does not make the world better?"
To celebrate the debut next week of our eight-part mini-series World Without End, we've dedicated all of October to epic movies set during the Middle Ages like tonight's movie, Kingdom of Heaven, currently ranked #5 in our ongoing poll of the Top 10 Epic Medieval Movies of all time. Produced and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ridley Scott — who also co-produced World Without End through his Scott Free Productions — Kingdom of Heaven stars Orlando Bloom as a young blacksmith named Balian who struggles to find meaning in his life after the death of his wife. Forced to flee his small town after killing his half-brother (Michael Sheen) in a fit of rage, Balian journeys to Jerusalem to aid his Crusading father, Godfrey of Ibelin (Liam Neeson), in defending the holy city from invading Muslim forces. After being knighted by his father, Balian finds love in the arms of a princess and finds his calling as a warrior and defender of the people.
