Two knights, Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman, turn their backs on the Crusades, unable to bear the bloodshed. While searching for food and supplies, they are apprehended and called before the local Cardinal, Christopher Lee, where they are threatened with prison for desertion, unless they agree to a dangerous mission. They can redeem themselves only by accompanying an accused witch, Claire Foy, to a distant abbey where she is to stand trial.
Cage agrees to escort her on the treacherous journey with Perlman, a well-traveled con man who knows the countryside (Stephen Graham), an eager young man who aspires to knighthood (Robert Sheehan), a bitter knight who has lost his family to the Plague (Ulrich Thomsen) and a naïve priest (Stephen Campbell Moore).
The route is long and arduous, made even more challenging by increasingly disturbing events, and takes the group across sheer-walled gorges and deep into wolf-infested forests. One by one his fellow travelers meet with misfortune, and the embattled Crusader finds himself facing his most terrifying adversary.
Director Dominic Sena’s ‘Season Of The Witch’ stars Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman & Claire Foy. The film releases on 21st January, 2011.
