The film about Arn and Cecilia is set in Sweden as well as the Middle East, and offers a rich gallery of brave knights, powerful queens and treacherous kings. It is a tale of war and intrigue, friendship and betrayal, but also an unforgettable love story.
Jan Guillou's best-selling novels featuring the Swedish crusader Arn Magnusson adapted for the screen. The first novel in the trilogy about the Knight Templar Arn was published in 1998, a tale about the emergence of what we today call Sweden. The story combines fiction with historical fact and makes references to real events and people.
"The story of Arn Magnusson and his adventurous life is a dramatic tale as well as an unforgettable love story. It is a tale of war and religion, love and betrayal. It is a cinematic account that has just been waiting to be put on the screen!"
"The plot is exciting, the acting is convincing, the locations beautiful and you don't get bored for a second." - The Guardian
