Film ini dilatarbelakangi sejarah Inggris, walaupun Inggris tidak mengakuinya. Dibalik latar belakang sejarah, film ini mempunyai cerita yang luar biasa. Integritas dan Keteguhan seorang pria diuji sampai batas terakhir.
Beberapa quote terbaik dari film ini ;
I know you can fight. But it’s our wits that make us men.
We all end up dead, it’s just a question of how and why.
Your heart is free. Have the courage to follow it.
Every man dies, not every man truly lives.
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!
