In 140 AD, two
men - master and slave - venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism...The
Roman epic adventure THE
EAGLE stars Channing Tatum and Jamie
Bell and is directed by Academy Award winner Kevin
Macdonald. 20 years earlier, Rome's 5,000-strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius
Aquila, marched
north carrying their treasured golden
Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and
Eagle simply vanished into the mists. Hearing a rumor that the
Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far
north, Flavius' son
Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of
his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by
his slave Esca (
Bell),
Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland - to confront its savage tribes, make
peace with
his father's memory, and retrieve the hallowed
Eagle. Along the way
Marcus realizes that the mystery of
his father's disappearance may well be linked to the secret of
his own slave's identity and loyalty - a secret all the more pressing when the two come face-to-face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).
