Synopsis
In 1307, as the Roman Empire’s hold over Europe diminishes, many nations vie for power, including the Austrian Habsburg family who threaten to take over Switzerland. It’s within this context that local huntsman William Tell (Claes Bang) runs into trouble when the cruel Austrian Viceroy Gessler (Connor Swindells) forces him to shoot an apple from his son’s head, thereafter committing Tell to fight the Austrian forces with everything he has.
