4.5/5 stars

This was the version released in cinemas in 2005. It was heavily edited by the studio (Fox) to shorten the runtime. Crucial subplots—including the backstory of Balian’s wife, the political machinations of the leper king, and why the priest steals the corpse—were cut.

Directed by Ridley Scott, the film is set in the 12th century, between the Second and Third Crusades.
