Released in 1995 and directed by Mel Gibson, this sweeping historical epic follows a commoner-turned-leader who unites fractious clans against brutal rule, blending romance, betrayal, and ferocious warfare.

David O’Hara delivers a scene-stealing turn as a fiercely loyal, unpredictable fighter whose dark humor undercuts the grim stakes. His later work includes The Departed, Wanted, and Luther.
