The story is set in a feudal society where warriors, known as Knights, serve noble lords. Raiden (played by Clive Owen) is a loyal and skilled warrior serving Lord Bartok (played by Morgan Freeman). However, when Lord Bartok is unjustly sentenced to death by the corrupt ruler Geza Mott (played by Aksel Hennie), Raiden and his fellow knights face a moral dilemma.
Rather than letting Lord Bartok die without a fight, Raiden and his comrades decide to rebel against the oppressive regime. They engage in a rebellion to honor their fallen lord, seeking justice and redemption for the dishonor brought upon them.
In the climax, Raiden and his fellow knights launch a daring attack on Geza Mott’s stronghold. The rebellion faces numerous challenges, and many knights sacrifice their lives in the process. Eventually, Raiden confronts Geza Mott in a final duel to avenge Lord Bartok and restore honor to the fallen knights.
The film ends with a sense of closure, as the knights’ rebellion, though costly, brings about justice and redemption. Raiden fulfills his duty to his fallen lord, and the remaining knights find a sense of honor and purpose.
In summary, “Last Knights” is a tale of loyalty, honor, and rebellion in a medieval-inspired setting, with themes of justice prevailing against corruption and tyranny.
