It’s December 1386. A knight and a squire face off in the last duel sanctioned by the French crown in the latest based-on-a-true-story movie from “Black Hawk Down” director Ridley Scott. The knight has accused the squire of raping his wife and a battle to the death will determine guilt or innocence. Marine veteran Adam Driver plays squire Jacques Le Gris, Matt Damon plays the knight Jean de Carrouges and Jodie Comer plays Lady Marguerite, whose rape led to the duel. Ben Affleck is Pierre D'Alencon, the count to whom both men report in their service to the king of France.

Ridley Scott's epic, which opens in 1386 Paris, tells the story of a duel between a squire of a knight from three points of view — including that of the woman they're fighting over.
