MOVIE

Action adventure co-written and directed by Vincent Ward. Set in Cumbria in 1348, a young boy named Griffin (Hamish McFarlane) has a prophetic vision of how to save his village from the encroaching Black Death; they must make a tribute to God by placing a spire on a distant cathedral before dawn. To honour the prophecy, a small band of brave believers start on a journey in search of the cathedral. They climb down a deep tunnel, seemingly endless, but emerge in 20th-century Auckland, New Zealand, having been through the middle of the Earth. Once there, the medieval travellers must cope with the bizarre modern world whilst attempting to complete their quest.
