A 1995 film directed, produced, written by and starring [[Mel Gibson]]
Wallace starts as a [[Call to Agriculture|simple farmer]] who [[Refusal of the Call|only wants to live a peaceful life]] with [[The Lost Lenore|his beloved wife Murron]] (Catherine McCormack), despite [[You Killed My Father|his father's death]] at the hands of the English. Unfortunately, he stops a rape of his wife by marauding English soldiers, and after the evil English magistrate executes her in retaliation, Wallace continues the spiral of revenge and soon the other villagers rise up as well. As the whole of Scotland is drawn into the rebellion against England, Wallace takes command of the Scottish army to kick ass... for FREEDOM!
The cast also includes Patrick McGoohan as Edward I "Longshanks", King of England, Peter Hanly as a young Edward II, Sophie Marceau as Princess Isabella of France, and Angus Macfadyen as Robert the Bruce (later King of Scotland). The film won five awards at the 1995 [[Academy Awards]], including Best Picture.
