Knight's Tale/Ned Kelly

Product Description

Two popular movies starring the late Heath Ledger. 'A Knight's Tale' (2000) tells the story of William (Heath Ledger), a young squire with a talent for jousting. When his master dies somewhat prematurely, William sets off with his friends, & an unknown writer called Chaucer (Paul Bettany). Chaucer agrees to forge documents that will 'prove' William's status as a knight & hence his eligibility to enter jousting competitions. ' Ned Kelly' (2003) is a biopic of the notorious Australian outllaw & folk hero, played by Ledger. From a family of Irish immigrants in the Victoria area of Australia, Kelly has long been the target of a prejudiced police force. Sentenced to three years in prison for theft, he finds a job tending horses on a ranch when he is released. But when Kelly falls foul of crooked policeman Fitzpatrick (Kiri Paramore), he finds himself on the run after being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Together with his brothers, Kelly forms a bank-robbing gang & is pursued by bounty hunter Francis Hare (Geoffrey Rush), leading to a final stand where Kelly armours himself with steel plate, determined to go down in a blaze of glory.
