A Knight’s Tale – Heath Ledger’s romantic comedy historical jousting movie – is an absolute classic. This analysis of A Knight’s Tale breaks down why this movie remains so beloved by a whole generation of fans. A story of friendship, found families, honour, and identity – A Knight’s Tale rocked us in 2001, and it still rocks us today.

🎞️ A KNIGHT’S TALE is a 2001 American medieval action comedy film written and directed by Brian Helgeland. The film stars Heath Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who poses as a knight and competes in tournaments, winning accolades and acquiring friendships with such historical figures as Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany). Its 14th-century story is intentionally anachronistic, with many modern pop culture references and a soundtrack featuring 1970s music. 🎞️
