Synopsis
"There is a force, ruled by darkness, dedicated to death and
destruction. To save mankind these warriors must pass through hell. Not
all souls can be saved."
In the supernatural thriller SEASON OF THE WITCH, Nicolas Cage stars as a
14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a
homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming
sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport
an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform
a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.
A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an
itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham) and a headstrong youth who can only
dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by
mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the
girl.
When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery
jeopardizes the knight's pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment, and
pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force.
