Braveheart is a 1995 historical action-drama movie produced and directed by Mel Gibson, who also starred in the title role. The film was written for screen and then novelized by Randall Wallace. Gibson portrays a legendary Scot, William Wallace, who gained recognition when he came to the forefront of the First War of Scottish Independence by opposing Edward I of England (portrayed by Patrick McGoohan) and subsequently abetted by Edward's daughter-in-law Princess Isabelle (played by Sophie Marceau) and a claimant to the Scottish throne, Robert the Bruce (played by Angus Macfadyen).
The film won five Academy Awards at the 68th Academy Awards, including the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director, and had been nominated for an additional five. Produced by Icon Productions for Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, the film's success helped revive the historical epic genre, with subsequent films such as Gladiator, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, 300, and Mongol.
William Wallace (Scottish Gaelic: Uilleam Uallas; c. 1270 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight and landowner who is known for leading a resistance during the Wars of Scottish Independence and is today remembered as a patriot and national hero.
Along with Andrew Moray, he defeated an English army at Stirling, and became Guardian of Scotland, serving until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk. After several years in hiding, Wallace was eventually found and captured in Robroyston near Glasgow and handed over to Edward I of England ("Longshanks"), who had him executed for treason.
Cast * Mel Gibson as William Wallace, the film's tragic hero. When his father and brother are killed fighting English soldiers, he leaves Scotland and travels abroad with his uncle. Upon returning, he marries his childhood friend Murron. After Murron is summarily executed by an English magistrate, Wallace leads an uprising demanding justice that leads to the Wars of Scottish Independence. * Patrick McGoohan as King Edward I of England, the primary antagonist. Nicknamed "Longshanks" for his height over 6 feet, the King is depicted as a tyrannical psychopath. He is also shown to be emotionally and physically abusive to his son. Determined to ruthlessly put down the Scottish uprising, he intends to ensure his rule over all of the Britain. Despite serving as the film's villain, he and Wallace do not share a single scene throughout. * Angus Macfadyen as Robert, 17th Earl of Bruce, son of the elder Bruce and claimant to the throne of Scotland, he is inspired by Wallace's dedication and bravery. * Brendan Gleeson as Hamish Campbell. Wallace's childhood friend and captain in Wallace's army, he is often short-sighted and thinks with his fists. * Sophie Marceau as Princess Isabelle of France, who sympathizes with the Scottish and admires Wallace. * Peter Hanly as Prince Edward, Prince of Wales. The son of King Edward and husband of Princess Isabelle through an arranged marriage. A homosexual, he suffers from emotional and physical abuse at the hands of his father. The Prince's male lover Phillip is killed by King Edward by being thrown out of a castle window. * Ian Bannen as the elder Robert the Bruce. Unable to seek the throne personally due to his disfiguring leprosy, he sociopathically plots to make his son the next King of Scotland despite the claims of the Balliol clan to the throne. * James Cosmo as Campbell the Elder. The father of Hamish Campbell and captain in Wallace's army. * Catherine McCormack as Murron MacClannough, the murdered wife of Wallace. Her name was changed from Blind Harry's Marion Braidfute in the script so as to not be confused with the Maid Marian of Robin Hood legend. * David O'Hara as Stephen. An Irish recruit to the Scottish army, he endears himself to Wallace with his humor, which may or may not be insanity, and his knowledge of guerrilla warfare. He professes to be the most wanted man on "my island," and claims to speak to God personally. He becomes one of Wallace's captains and quasi-bodyguard, saving his life several times. * Brian Cox as Argyle Wallace. A Roman Catholic priest and uncle to William. After the death of Wallace's father and brother, Argyle takes Wallace as a child into his care. Promising to teach the boy how to use a sword after he learns to use his head, he teaches Wallace to speak and read fluent French and Latin. He is also described as having taken his nephew on pilgrimage to Holy See. * Alex Kelsey as young William Wallace. The 10-year old actor reportedly spent weeks trying to copy Gibson's mannerisms for the film.
