The sorcerer Merlin (Nicol Williamson) retrieves Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake for Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne), who secures a brief alliance with Gorlois, the Duke of Cornwall. Uther's lust for Cornwall's wife Igrayne (Katrine Boorman) soon ruins the truce, and Merlin agrees to help Uther to seduce Igrayne on the condition that he gives Merlin whatever results from his lust. Merlin transforms Uther into Cornwall's likeness with the Charm of Making. Cornwall's daughter Morgana senses her father's mortal injury during his assault on Uther's camp; and, while Igrayne is fooled by the disguise and Uther impregnates her, Morgana sees through it, watching Uther as Cornwall dies in battle. Nine months later, Merlin takes Uther's son Arthur. Uther pursues but is mortally wounded by Gorlois' knights. Uther thrusts Excalibur into a stone, crying that "None shall wield Excalibur, but me

讲述英国阿瑟国王的故事，片子名字就是他那把传说中插在石头里的大剑。片子挺长的，从他父亲说起 ，到阿瑟的出生和死亡，都讲了一遍。一些相关的传说，包括后来的圣杯任务什么的，也都包括了。情节编排都挺紧凑的，该登场的人物也都粉墨登场了，Lancelot，Merlin，Guenevere，Gawain这些关键人物是一个都没拉下，每个人的刻画都挺用心的。
由于片子老了点，很多特级在现在的眼光里看来，都挺假的，有些甚至接近了可笑的地步，但故事情节，人物对话，和演员表演都很不错，呵呵，甚至比一些现在的所谓好莱坞大片还好看。
