Synopsis
STONE OF DESTINY is based on the incredible true story of a group of 1950's Scottish students and their mission to bring the 'Stone of Scone' back to Scotland. Charlie Cox (STARDUST) stars as Ian Hamilton, who sees a chance to revive national pride by stealing the stone from its closely guarded home in London's Westminster Abbey. Aided by friends Bill Craig (Billy Boyd, LORD OF THE RINGS) and the beautiful Kay Matheson (Kate Mara, TRANSSIBERIAN), Ian attempts a daring heist '600 years in the making'. Robert Carlyle also stars in this heartwarming comic adventure.

Customer Reviews

excellent film
This film was one of the best films that I have seen in a while, the cast is brilliant. Would definately recommend this film.
The Stone of Destiny, based on a true story, where students plan to steal the stone back from the english.

Scot wha hae done their bit
Tongue in cheek for most of the way, this was nevertheless a story worth telling. And it was indeed told well.

Far better than the Critics reviews
I went to the cinema in St Andrews to see this. As a patriotic Scot with an interest in Scottish History I was looking forward to seeing this. I had noticed that the film critics had panned it, but I found it very enjoyable as did my family and friends. I would say however that if you are not a Scot and are not interested in the subject matter then you will probably agree with the critics. My only quibble with the film was that the end scene with the main characters being arrested at Arbroath Abbey never actually happened, in reality they left the stone and were arrested later. Still a good movie and I'm glad I bought the DVD.
