Robert the Bruce

Robert the Bruce (2019) is a historical drama directed by Richard Gray that you can watch online on iFILM, with Angus Macfadyen reprising the role he first played in Mel Gibson's Braveheart — this time as a broken king finding his way back.

The year is 1306. Scotland has been overrun and Robert the Bruce has lost everything: his army, his crown, and very nearly his will. He takes shelter with a widow and her children — a family already hollowed out by the same war. She has every reason not to trust a fugitive who some call a traitor and others call their rightful king. As English soldiers sweep the highlands, the question is not whether Robert can reclaim his throne, but whether he still believes it is worth fighting for.

Where most films about this era go wide — mass battles, sweeping landscapes — this one goes quiet and close. Zach McGowan and Jared Harris round out a strong supporting cast. Stream Robert the Bruce (2019) online on iFILM.
