Synopsis

Reclaiming the Blade celebrates the culture and craft of swords and the Hollywood legends and academic warriors who wield them. A cinematic tribute to the beauty and necessity of the sword through films such as Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Chronicles of Narnia and The Pirates of the Caribbean. Narrated by acclaimed Welsh actor John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, Lord of the RIngs) and produced with the support of Peter Jackson, Weta Workshop, Skywalker Sound and the Royal Armouries. Reclaiming the Blade traces the sword's true history throughout the ages and features the following talent: Viggo Mortensen (Eastern Promises), Karl Urban (Borne Supremacy, JJ Abrams new Star Trek), Richard Taylor (LOTR, King Kong, Narnia), Bob Anderson (Hollywood Sword-master to Errol Flynn, Johnny Depp, Star Wars, etc), and legendary Illustrator John Howe (LOTR, Narnia). The cutting-edge soundtrack to the film illuminates the story with an original orchestral score by composer David James Nielsen and pop/rock hits from the Doves, Yo La Tengo, The Dandy Warhols, and Juliana Hatfield, among others.
