Excellent. I have loved this movie since I first saw it when I was a kid. I think the movie is responsible for my love of medieval Knights and jousting.
Ivanhoe tracks down King Richard who is held prisoner in Austria after the Third Crusade. Prince John refuses to pay the ransom for his brother so Ivanhoe enters a jousting contest against the Norman Knights to gain support and raise the ransom money..
Colourful, romantic and great action as Ivanhoe is helped by Robin Of Locksley and his men to storm a castle and rescue the maidens held captive by The Normans.
