It recounts the final legally sanctioned trial by combat in French history during the 14th century.
The story centers on the conflict between Sir Jean de Carrouges, played by Matt Damon, and his former friend Jacques Le Gris, portrayed by Adam Driver.
The dispute arises after Marguerite de Carrouges accuses Le Gris of sexual assault.
