The year is A.D. 411 - the Empire of Rome is crumbling. As the legions are called back to defend the Eternal City, the Isle of Britain is left to merciless Saxon marauders...

During the 400's A. D., the farms and villages on the coast of Britain were raided and destroyed by invading Saxons. Our hero, Artos Pendragon, is called by God to lead the British people in the fight to save their homes and families. Artos faces and overcomes such obstacles as the destruction of his family's village, then slavery in and escape from a Saxon camp, and even betrayal by his friends. But, through these trials, God works in the heart of Artos to make him the leader who can save the British people from Saxon destruction.

So the Pendragon story begins...

Son of the village chieftain, Artos Pendragon is entrusted with his father's vision to drive the Saxons from Britain in defense of the people God has given him to protect. But, when Artos's own village is destroyed by raiding Saxons, and he is enslaved, his will is crushed. Unexpectedly risking his life to defend a young girl, Artos is forced to make a desperate escape, during which he collapses at the very end of his own strength. He cries out to God and is rescued by Lailoken, a wise man of the woods. Refreshed in mind, body, and soul, he sets out carrying his father's sword to finish his father's work.

Artos travels to the British stronghold at Arfon to join the army that Ambrosius, king of Britain, is raising to stop the invading Saxons. In Arfon, Artos meets Wenneveria, the king's daughter, and Brotus, Artos's future companion. Both Wenneveria and Brotus are inspired by Artos' vision to defend Britain and join him in his effort.

But, the army commander Cadeyrn plots to amass power for himself at the cost of Britain's defense. Through treachery and betrayal, Cadeyrn succeeds in evicting Artos and leaving the British people defenseless. As the ravaging Saxon hosts prepare to invade and conquer Britain, how will Artos's vision of protection, peace, and freedom be accomplished?

A story of courage, vision, and sacrifice, this film is sure to thrill your family and stir your heart. As the makers of Pendragon, we hope to inspire another generation to stand tall and shoulder the tasks God has given them.
