Opis filmu

Opis oryginalny: angielski

In 1501, a city in Renaissance Italy has been taken by a coup d'état while its rightful ruler, Arnolfini (Fernando Hilbeck), is away. Arnolfini promises some mercenaries 24 hours of looting if they succeed in retaking the city, and they do so. But in their revelry, Arnolfini decides that he wants them gone. Hawkwood (Jack Thompson (actor)), the Condottiero of the troops, is caring for a young nun he mistakenly attacked during the siege. Arnolfini promises to get medical attention for her and Hawkwood leads Arnolfini's cavalry, betraying his former lieutenant, Martin (Rutger Hauer). The cavalry ejects the mercenaries from the city without their loot. Soon after, Martin's son is stillbirth. Burying the infant unearths a wooden statue of Saint Martin of Tours—a saint with a sword. The mercenaries' Cardinal (Catholicism) views this as a sign from God to follow Martin as their new leader.
