Film Description
Ken Follett's best-selling historical novel is brought to life in this star-studded and critically-acclaimed eight-part miniseries. Weaving a backdrop of war, religious strife and power struggles together sees lives and families torn apart in the wake of larger events.
Emerging from the war-torn shadows of England's age of anarchy in the 12th Century, an idealistic mason, Tom Builder (Rufus Sewell) sets out on a quest of erecting a glorious cathedral bathed in light. But when that light threatens to illuminate the dark secrets of ambitious Bishop Waleran Bigod (Ian McShane) and the battling progeny of King Henry, Queen Maud (Alison Pill) and King Stephen (Tony Curran), they'll stop at nothing to keep those secrets safe.
At once, this is a sensuous and enduring love story and an epic that shines with the fierce spirit of a passionate age. Follett masterfully weaves these stories through political turmoil of 12th century England, creating a relevant and viable world for today's audience and for generations to come.
