The movie is described as "a true David and Goliath story of how the great 14th Century Scottish 'Outlaw King' Robert the Bruce used cunning and bravery to defeat and repel the much larger and better equipped occupying English army."
The film is expected to be released on Netflix next year and has already generated a serious buzz.
