Rob Roy
A passionate and thrilling tale, Rob Roy tells the thrilling story of 18th-Century Scottish hero Robert Roy McGregor (Liam Neeson- Schindler's List). Against a backdrop of stunning beauty and the bitter reality of clan life, Rob Roy and his wife Mary (Jessica Lang – Cape Fear) are caught in an epic struggle to defend personal honour against treachery and savagery. To provide for his McGregan clan, Rob Roy borrows money from the powerful Marquis of Montrose (John Hurt – Scandal) and so becomes embroiled in a plot by Montrose's evil henchman Cunningham (Tim Roth – Reservoir Dogs).
Faced with a ruthless and corrupt enemy, only strength and courage can resist the destruction of everything he knows in this powerful adventure.
