Plot:

In 140 AD, the are 2 men — the one a master and the other a slave — they venture beyond the edge of the world as they know it on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push both of them well beyond the boundaries of their loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism…The Roman epic adventure THE EAGLE stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell and is directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald.

Only 20 years earlier did Rome's 5,000-strong 9th Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, march towards the North carrying their most treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never did return and the Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists.

Having heard a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple to the very far north, Flavius' son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his late father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied now only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the dangerous and vast Scottish highlands — to now confront its once savage tribes and also to make peace with his late father's memory, and retrieve the now hallowed Eagle. Along the way Marcus realizes that the mystery of his father's disappearance may well be linked to the secret of his own slave's identity and loyalty — a secret all the more pressing when the two come face-to-face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).

Produced by Duncan Kenworthy and also co-starring Donald Sutherland, THE EAGLE's screenplay is adapted by Jeremy Brock from Rosemary Sutcliff's classic novel "The Eagle of the Ninth".
