The year is 1429. France is in political and religious turmoil as members of the royal family
battle for rule. But one peasant girl from a remote village gave her country the miracle
it was looking for. Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element, Dazed and Confused) is Joan of Arc,
a young woman who would inspire and lead her countrymen until her execution at the
age of nineteen. Raised in a religious family, Joan witnessed her sister's rape and
death at the hands of an invading army. Years later, as the same war raged on,
Joan stood before her king with a message she claimed came from God: give her
an army, and in God's name she would reclaim his diminished kingdom.
But was the message real, or the delusion of a girl whose life had been shattered?
