Prince Valiant Movie Review 1997

We're back at Camelot with a lot of colorful pageantry and old-fashioned action. Young orphaned Valiant (Moyer) is the squire to Sir Gawain (Hickox), one of King Arthur's (Fox) knights. He is given the task of escorting Princess Ilene (Heigl) to her home in Wales and naturally the young twosome fall in love. Meanwhile, the sword Excalibur has been stolen by Viking leader Thagnar (Kretschmann) and somehow become embedded in his castle's stone floor. Then Ilene gets kidnapped and it's up to Valiant to rescue both Ilene and Excalibur. Based on the comic strip created by Harold R. Foster.
