Robert the Bruce is a 2019 British epic historical fiction war film directed by Richard Gray concerning the renowned king of the same name.

A character-driven ensemble piece, it portrays Robert's relationship with a peasant family as a galvanising influence on his struggle for independence and his ensuing reign.

In 1306, some time after the execution of William Wallace, a truce meeting takes place between Robert the Bruce and John Comyn in a chapel.

In a mountain cottage, Morag Macfie tells her son Scot, niece Iver and nephew Carney the story of how Robert killed Comyn.

Iver and Scot take positions in the trees with bows, Carney conceals a sword and Briana hides in the barn.

Years later, Morag visits Scot's grave, as he died fighting for Robert at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, which ultimately led to Scotland's freedom.

The cast includes Jared Harris, Patrick Fugit, Zach McGowan, Emma Kenney, Diarmaid Murtagh, Seoras Wallace, Shane Coffey, Kevin McNally, and Melora Walters.

Helmer Gray, Macfadyen, Hutchison, Kim Barnard, Nick Farnell, Cameron Nuggent, and Andrew Curry produced the film.

[5] In order to film the harsh winters which existed in Scotland during these times, the crew used the snow-covered hills lining the Yellowstone River (Paradise) Valley, south of Livingston, Montana, for those needed shots.

Braveheart was also scheduled for a theatrical re-release by Fathom Events in March 2020 for its 25th anniversary and in promotion for Robert the Bruce, but it was also cancelled.

The sole extra feature is an audio commentary with director Richard Gray and co-writer and star Angus Macfadyen.

The website's critics consensus reads: "It's inspired by epic real-life events, but rich cinematography and the best of intentions aren't enough to carry Robert the Bruce past its leaden pace and bland storytelling.
