Centurion is an action-packed historical drama set during the Roman Empire’s expansion into Britain. Directed by Neil Marshall, the film draws inspiration from the mysterious disappearance of the Ninth Legion, blending historical speculation with visceral, high-stakes storytelling. Known for its brutal action sequences and stunning cinematography, Centurion delivers a gripping tale of survival and revenge amidst the harsh landscapes of ancient Britain.

In 117 AD, Roman forces face fierce resistance from the Picts, a guerrilla tribe defending their homeland in northern Britain. Quintus Dias (Michael Fassbender), a Roman centurion, survives a brutal Pictish raid and escapes captivity. He joins the Ninth Legion, led by General Virilus (Dominic West), on a mission to crush the Pict uprising.

Betrayed and ambushed, the legion is annihilated, leaving only a handful of survivors, including Quintus. Stranded behind enemy lines, they are relentlessly pursued by Etain (Olga Kurylenko), a mute Pict tracker with a personal vendetta against the Romans. Quintus leads his comrades through treacherous terrain, battling the elements, their enemies, and their own despair as they struggle to reach safety.

The story culminates in a desperate fight for survival, questioning loyalty, honor, and the cost of empire-building.
