Skip it tonight—this is a generic historical action retread that doesn't bring anything fresh to the William Tell legend. Without critic scores to back it up and a plot that sounds like a paint-by-numbers invading-empire story, you're better off rewatching a solid action film you already know works.

Plot

The narrative unfolds in the 14th Century, when the European nations vie for supremacy within the Holy Roman Empire. The ambitious Austrian Empire, desiring more land, invades neighbouring Switzerland, a serene and pastoral nation. Protagonist William Tell, a formerly peaceful hunter, finds himself forced to take action as his family and homeland come under threat from the oppressive Austrian King and his ruthless warlords.
