Last Knights (2015) Movie Synopsis - Plot Summary
Bartok
watches over his estate, a vassal kingdom to a great empire. Protecting the
Bartok clan is Commander Raiden and his elite soldiers, who serve and protect
Bartok. Raiden is surprised when Bartok tells him he is to be his heir, and
gives him a sword. The empire has become corrupted and the evil minister, Geza
Mott, humiliates Bartok by beating him with a stick for failing to provide an
adequate bribe, until Bartok retaliates—which is treason against the crown.
Bartok is put to trial where he speaks openly of his disdain for what honour
has become in the empire. He is sentenced to death and Raiden is ordered to
execute his own master. Bartok's estate is divided and Raiden and the Bartok
clan is disbanded. Geza Mott suspects Raiden will demand vengeance, and has his
trusted warrior, Ito, watch Raiden to ensure there is no possibility of
revenge.
A year
passes and we find Raiden is now a drunk. Geza is still highly fearful of
Raiden's wrath and demands half his father-in-law's troops to safeguard him
while he completes construction of his newly fortified estate, more soldiers
than the emperor's own security detail. Raiden's wife, Naomi, couldn't bear to
be with him as he had fallen so low, with Raiden even selling his sword for
more drink. When Bartok's virgin daughter is offered to Raiden in a whorehouse
he shows no concern for her, but leaves the premises. Geza finally relaxes and
stops watching Raiden. It is now revealed that Raiden and the Bartok clan
soldiers sacrificed everything for the illusion of a complete defeat, and have
been waiting for the right time to gather together and regain the clan honour
by avenging their master's death.
Raiden's
men have been working in secret, building up contacts and connections, and
gathering intelligence about Geza's estate - even secretly altering his estate
to help them in their cause. As Raiden's men infiltrate the estate, we find
that Auguste secretly made a pact with Raiden to help him, in exchange for
Raiden's help to free his daughter from her marriage to Geza Mott. Geza has
always mistreated Auguste's daughter which, along with Bartok's execution,
causes Auguste to see that his vicious son-in-law has no honour. Raiden and his
men successfully infiltrate Geza's estate, are discovered, and Raiden's group
has to face a large number of soldiers.
Raiden's
men fall one by one as they enter deep into Geza's estate. Ito took
responsibility for his complacency and duels with Raiden, but unfortunately
Ito's sword fails and Raiden kills him. Raiden breaks into Geza's bedroom and
decapitates him. With Geza dead, Raiden's surviving group rescue Bartok's
daughter and tell her that Bartok's honour is restored. The Emperor discusses
with his council how to deal with Bartok's soldiers, and they caution him
against the risk of turning the people against the crown. They realise that the
public view Geza's death a righteous one, and widely support the Bartok clan.
The council strongly suggests that any judgement should restore their honour,
rather than make them martyrs. Raiden asks that he be the only one executed for
Geza's death.
The crown
publicly admits the righteousness of the Bartok clan, but also reminds the
crowd that killing a high council member is still the same as an attack on the
emperor and Raiden will be executed. Before his execution, Raiden charges Lt.
Cortez to take control of the surviving Bartok clan. Once inside, he sees Naomi
one last time to apologize for her suffering before making peace with his own
life. Raiden lowers his head with his eyes closed, and as the executioner draws
back his sword, Raiden's eyes suddenly open wide and the screen goes to black .
. . leaving hope that he survived.
