A triple bill of adventures. 'A Knight's Tale' is loosely inspired by the England documented in Chaucer's 'The Canterbury Tales' and 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, and an unknown writer called Chaucer (Paul Bettany). Chaucer agrees to forge documents that will 'prove' William's status as a knight and hence his eligibility to enter jousting competitions. Romance and fighting soon ensue in this historico-comedy. In 'The Princess Bride' a young boy is less than thrilled when his grandfather arrives to read him the story of 'The Princess Bride', a swashbuckling tale full of fencing, fighting, giants and monsters. He is very surprised when the story comes to life before his enchanted eyes. Finally in 'The Mask of Ziorro' Don Diego de la Vega (Anthony Hopkins) is a swashbuckling legend, adopting the moniker Zorro and donning a mask in his fight against Spanish despots in Alta California. Twenty years after hanging up his sword, he needs to find a successor to gain revenge on Don Rafael Montero (Stuart Wilson), the tyrant who stole his wife and daughter (Catherine Zeta Jones) two decades ago. He selects the swarthy Alejandro (Antonio Banderas) as his protegé, but the unruly bandit needs some rough edges smoothed out before he can wield his blade on his teacher's behalf.
