In 2004, "King Arthur,” which was produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, was released as a major motion picture. The film was intended to be a more realistic take on the story of King Arthur without magic and monsters. It seemed to be somewhat of a vehicle for Keira Knightley, who had become very popular after the first "Pirates of the Carribean" film. Since 2004, "King Arthur" had turned into a cult film of sorts that has its fans.

There is actually a small but notable connection between "King Arthur" and "The Adventures of Merlin." Clive Russell, who guest starred as Bayard in Season 1 episode The Poisoned Chalice, portrayed Lancelot's father in "King Arthur."

Official Summary - Historians have thought for centuries that King Arthur was only a myth, but the legend was based on a real hero, torn between his private ambitions and his public sense of duty.

A reluctant leader, Arthur (CLIVE OWEN) wishes only to leave Britain and return to the peace and stability of Rome. Before he can, one final mission leads him and his Knights of the Round Table – Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, and Gawain – to the conclusion that when Rome is gone, Britain will need a leader to fill the vacuum. Britain needs a king – someone not only to defend against the current threat of invading Saxons, but to lead the isle into a new age. Under the guidance of Merlin, a former enemy, and the beautiful, courageous Guinevere (KEIRA KNIGHTLEY) by his side, Arthur will have to find the strength within himself to change the course of history. Thrilling adventure, edge-of-your-seat action and historical grandeur come together in this unique look at the origins of one of the greatest legends ever told.

From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “Black Hawk Down”) and director Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) comes Touchstone Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “King Arthur,” a spectacular, epic tale of one man’s destiny to become a king.
