				This is the hidden story of Camelot, you know, the whole 
				Lancelot thing. Plot 
						Summary: This tale centers on the legendary love 
						triangle between King Arthur of Camelot, the valiant 
						wandering warrior Lancelot, and the beautiful Lady 
						Guinevere of Leonesse. Guinevere is betrothed to King 
						Arthur, whose kingdom offers protection to her lands, 
						but a fateful encounter with Lancelot sparks a forbidden 
						passion between them. As the romantic turmoil unfolds, 
						the kingdom faces threats from a rebellious knight, 
						Malagant, forcing the characters to choose between 
						personal desires and loyalty, duty, and honor. 
				Dad's Preview: 
				I really enjoyed this take on King Arthur's story. The cast is 
				top notch. Frankly, it was a struggle for me to buy Richard Gere 
				as Lancelot, but the filmmakers sure tried hard to convince me. 
				This film introduced me to Julia Ormond and she is amazing. 
				Connery excels as the war-weary King, tired of fighting, bitter 
				about a life he could have had. The stunts and action are 
				well-done. If you want to woo your date tonight and crave a 
				medieval, lusty love triangle movie, this one is for you.
