Braveheart is a 1995 epic historical drama directed by and starring Mel Gibson. The film is based on the life of William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England. While not entirely historically accurate, Braveheart is widely praised for its epic battle scenes, emotional depth, and powerful performances. The story follows Wallace's rise as a leader after the brutal execution of his wife by English soldiers, which sets him on a path of rebellion. Driven by his desire for freedom, Wallace inspires a nation to stand up against English oppression. The film explores themes of liberty, sacrifice, and heroism. Braveheart was a commercial and critical success, winning five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. Its famous cry of "Freedom!" and iconic scenes have made it a cultural touchstone in the historical film genre.
