Brace yourselves for another brutal battle, as one of the few survivors of the Great Siege of Rochester Castle fights to protect his family's estate from fierce Celtic raiders. With a new battleground and a new enemy, Ironclad: Battle For Blood promises to deliver the same ferocious, adrenaline-filled action and gory kills that defined Ironclad. It's 1216, just one year after the battle at Rochester Castle, and a new enemy threatens English life that's far more terrifying than King John - bands of Celtic raiders, stealing livestock and killing anyone who gets in their way. After the death of his father at the hands of these raiders, Hubert is<br /> determined to defeat them, once and for all. He seeks out his cousin Guy, one of the heroes of Rochester castle, for help. Guy is no longer the naïve idealist he once was, but a hardened sword-for-hire... Hubert finds him in a whorehouse, drunk and disillusioned, and only willing to raise his sword for money. They return to the castle, but before Hubert, Guy, and the rest of their band finish building up the castle defences, the raiders strike. Bloody battles and violent deaths follow, including that of the enemy leader's son. Arriving to find his eldest son dead, the Celtic chieftain vows he will not return home until every living thing within the castle walls is slaughtered - and that's just the cue for more Ironclad gut-splitting action. The chieftain's resolve only intensifies the fight, because now the Celts aren't just fighting for livestock, they're fighting for revenge. Ironclad: Battle For Blood will take you on a hellacious ride featuring crashing swords, gruesome hand to hand combat, and plenty more of the ultra-violent medieval action that has distinguished this epic series.

Taken to a land far away, the youths are presented to a powerful king before being cast down into the depths of the Labyrinth to meet their fate.<br /> <br /> Driven by his love who was lost in a previous sacrifice, Theo disobeys his father's commands and joins the sacrifice with the intention of killing the beast. On arrival at the palace Theo is seduced by a mysterious princess, who promises him love if he can protect her from the King, her brother.<br /> <br /> Thrown into the depths of the maze, Theo and his friends come face to face with the true horror of their plight, as the terrifying Minotaur hunts them down one by one and mercilessly devours them. <br /> <br /> Based on the ancient Greek myth of 'Theseus and the Minotaur', the film is a classic adventure horror story set in 1400 BC.
