The story of just to what limits a man will go in order to secure freedom for himself and his country

Rating: 10/10 (26 November 1998)

While "Braveheart" is a bit long, over three hours, and a bit bloody, the battle scenes are very realistic, there is very little in the film to make a viewer regret the choice. Based on the struggle that Scotland endured to gain its independence from England in the 1200's, the film focuses on Mel Gibson's portrayal of William Wallace, the leader of those fighting for the right to be free. As one watches the film, a sense of real appreciation for that which he has was gained without the Scottish struggle. This is a definite must-see.
