William Thatcher, a knight's peasant apprentice, gets a chance at glory when the knight dies suddenly mid-tournament. Posing as a knight himself, William won't stop until he's crowned tournament champion—assuming matters of the heart don't get in the way.
Critics consensus
Once you get past the anachronism, A Knight's Tale becomes a predictable, if spirited, Rocky on horseback.
