The first medieval legendary action film directed by Dutch director Paul Verhoeven in Hollywood, characterized by strong and audacious style. The male lead Rutger Hauer became famous for his role in Verhoeven's "Soldier of Orange," and by the time of this collaboration, his worth had greatly increased. The story depicts the Crusades in Europe during the 16th century, where the wanderer Martin forms a ragtag army to engage in sieges. A lord had promised his men twenty hours to pillage after a city was taken but broke his promise and ordered his troops to capture Martin. During the wedding of the lord's son Stephen and Anne, Martin comes to take revenge and abducts Anne. Stephen must reclaim his wife for the sake of his knightly honor, but Anne has developed feelings for Martin, complicating the triangle and intensifying the conflict. American actress Jennifer Jason Leigh is a standout in this masculine and violent film, delivering an impressive performance. Director Brief: Paul Verhoeven was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and holds dual PhD degrees in mathematics and physics. During his service in the Dutch Royal Navy, he made documentaries; after retiring, he worked as a director for television, creating an in-depth documentary titled "Moses." His breakthrough came with three Dutch films: Soldier of Orange (1979), Spetters (1980), and The Forth Man (1983). In 1985, using American funding, Verhoeven directed his first American film, Flesh & Blood, which almost received an X rating. Two years later, he broke into Hollywood with Robocop, showcasing intense violent aesthetics to American audiences. He values creative freedom and ensures that his films are not interfered with after completion, making him an outstanding Dutch director in the American film industry with a controversial style often on the edge of censorship.
