Kids of the Round Table is a 1995 Canadian/American fantasy film written and directed by Robert Tinnell.
Malcolm McDowell, Michael Ironside and newcomer Johnny Morina star in a modern-day adventure filled with medieval magic.
A boy named Alex Cole and his friends have fun participating in pretend medieval battles at a "castle" built from a shed.
After one such battle, the kids gather around a round table and Alex tells his friends about the legend of King Arthur.
A group of bullies led by James "Scar" Scarsdale arrives and intimidates Alex's friends into fleeing.
Scar's father Butch tells his associates Gil and Stu that he plans to commit a crime and then to flee town.
After Ferguson leaves, Butch and his henchmen go to the house and hold Jenny, her mother, and the party guests hostage.
The film closes with a scene in Los Angeles, where another child encounters a sword in a stone.
Kids of the Round Table premiered at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival,[1][2][3] which was held from May 17 to 28 of that year.
