The Eagle - Official Trailer

Journey to the world of THE EAGLE with the official trailer.

In 2nd-Century Britain, two men – master and slave – venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, in the Roman epic adventure THE EAGLE, directed by Kevin Macdonald. In 140 AD, Marcus Aquila (Channing Tatum) arrives in Britain, determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, who 20 years earlier had disappeared along Rome’s 5,000-strong Ninth Legion and their iconic emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth. After being wounded in battle, Marcus convalesces, demoralized, in the villa of his Uncle Aquila (Donald Sutherland), a retired army man. When Marcus impulsively gets a young Briton’s life spared at a gladiatorial contest, Aquila buys the Briton, Esca (Jamie Bell), to be Marcus’ slave. Pushed to redeem his father’s honor, Aquila and Esca head north into unknown territory to discover what happed to Aquila’s father and the Eagle of the Ninth. Also starring Mark Strong, Tahar Rahim, and Denis O’Hare.

Underrated historical epic.
Well made.

It's definitely Channing Tatum's finest performance.

Thats what i call War! Face to Face combat with honor! I wished I had live in that time.

[nhprman]

[ImperialistRunningDo]

I read "The Eagle of the Ninth" when I was a kid. I hope they don't mess it up.

[crackshack]

[katydickson]

My teachers best friend was working on this film hehe

[SiskoRSQ]

Hmmm... interesting. I just watched Centurion and really enjoyed it, it seems this is the same story with different actors... not sure if it's worth seeing in the theater.

[LucianRME]

there was a time when men knew what honor means...

[bfia]

i would see this if it were rated R...

[killerwyman]

i only have two words to spill onto this page, Chan rocks

[ImperialKiriyama]

Anyone else think of Rome: Total War and the First Legionary Cohort units? The ones with the eagles, and you lose one and it's a mark of dishonor or something of the sort. Anyways this movie looks like it has potential.

@Chumsly

Unfortunately when we're watching the movie, we won't be able to understand it if it's in Latin and Celtic.

[liquicrum]

@nhprmn spot on, they effectively distilled the whole movie in that clip, no need to see it now.

[LetzRock]

@MercC23k Because some people don't go to movies for as if its story-time like you do, they go to see awesome scenes and action. The trailer also didn't include whether or not the eagle was retrieved and there are possibly other plot twists that weren't shown in the trailer.

[sakuramonster]

I want to see it because it looks interesting to me.
