È l'anno 1215 ed i baroni ribelli d'Inghilterra hanno costretto il disprezzato re Giovanni a mettere il suo sigillo reale sulla Magna Carta, un nobile documento seminale che ha confermato i diritti degli uomini liberi. Tuttavia, pochi mesi prima di impegnarsi, il re si rimangia la parola e assembla un esercito mercenario sulla costa meridionale dell'Inghilterra, con l'intento di portare i baroni e il paese nuovamente sotto il suo governo tirannico. A bloccare la sua strada si erge il potente castello di Rochester, un luogo che sarebbe diventato il simbolo della lotta epocale dei ribelli per la giustizia e la libertà.
