    Storyline

    Edit
    William Wallace is a Scottish rebel who leads an uprising against the cruel English ruler Edward the Longshanks, who wishes to inherit the crown of Scotland for himself. When he was a young boy, William Wallace's father and brother, along with many others, lost their lives trying to free Scotland. Once he loses another of his loved ones, William Wallace begins his long quest to make Scotland free once and for all, along with the assistance of Robert the Bruce. —Anonymous

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Mel Gibson initially turned down the role of William Wallace, as he felt he was too old for the part. However, Paramount Pictures would only finance the film if Gibson played the lead role, so he agreed.
    • Goofs
      During the last battle, two soldiers just stop fighting and laugh at what is going on.
    • Quotes

      William Wallace: Every man dies, not every man really lives.

    • Crazy credits
      With the exception of the title of the movie, there are no opening credits.
    • Alternate versions
      When the film was originally released, the final voice over tells us that the Scots "won their freedom... forever." The "forever" was deleted for the re-release and other future editions. It can still be found, however, in the liner notes of the soundtrack album.
