Stone of Destiny
They didn't grab their destiny. They lifted it.
Scotland, 1950. With Scots nationalism waning under the weight of Britain's rule, four university students, led by Ian Hamilton (Charlie Cox), make a dramatic gesture to reawaken their country's pride. Despite having little money and even less experience, they cunningly break into Westminster Abbey in the wee hours of Christmas morning and "liberate" that most powerful symbol of Scotland's nationhood—The Stone of Destiny. Although they are finally captured, and the Stone taken back to London, their mission renews Scottish pride and the call for independence.

Lives up the the trailers! - Faelinn1
We decided to zip this movie after catching the trailer for it while watching another "zipped" movie. Neither of us had even heard of the Stone of Destiny, but it had us laughing so we added it to our ziplist - and it did not disappoint! The characters are likeable and entertaining - the dialogue is witty and the relationships are believable as well. There were just enough complications to keep the story interesting, without getting ridiculous or complicated! We both enjoyed it!!!Loved This Film! - Bunnyhugs
This was an absolutely solid piece of filmmaking.
There were beautiful shots, great interplay between the characters and a well told story. Spent an evening over Thanksgiving holidays watching it with my folks and it was an evening well spent.
A great film for the idealist in all of us.freedom! - jplauzon
This was a very entertaining and interesting movie. It's not only based on a true story but the acting is believable and the humour is clever. If you have any Scottish blood than this movie will make you proud of your heritage for sure! It also provides a good bit of history for those who do not know what the stone of destiny is.
