Lionheart (1986)

Action & Adventure • PG • Directed by: Franklin J. Schaffner • 104 minutes

Eric Stoltz stars as Robert Nerra, a young 12th century knight journeying to join King Richard the Lionhearted. But Robert discovers instead the hungry, tattered and forgotten children orphaned by the Crusade ... and the Black Prince (Gabriel Byrne), the ruthless warlord who wants to sell the children into slavery. Where myth and history meet--where good vanquishes evil--the heart of a lion beats in the body of a child in this brave and wondrous tale of long ago.
