Plot
In 1184 France, Balian, a blacksmith, is haunted by his wife's recent suicide after the death of their unborn child. A Crusader passing through the village introduces himself as Balian's father, Baron Godfrey of Ibelin, and asks him to return with him to the Holy Land, but Balian declines. The town priest (Balian's half-brother) reveals that he ordered Balian's wife's body beheaded before burial. Upon discovering that the priest also stole his wife's crucifix, Balian kills him.
