Answer 3

Kingdom of Heaven follows the story of an Engineer and Artificer making his living as a blacksmith in France. After discovering the existence of his out-of-wedlock father, Baron Godfrey of Ibelin (Neeson), he goes to Jerusalem as a way to cope with his wife's suicide, in the hope of gaining redemption and forgiveness.

Balian (Bloom), heads off to defend Kerak from Saladin's (Massoud) army. He also contends with the war- and power-hungry Guy de Lusignan (Csokas) and Raynald de Chatillon (Gleeson), who want nothing more than to attain personal glory in war against the armies of Saladin.

As the film progresses, King Baldwin dies from leprosy and is succeeded by his sister Sibylla, whose husband Guy becomes the King Consort. Guy, with Raynald's assistance, provokes Saladin to war and a great battle ensues, in which the Crusader army is annihilated (the Battle of Hattin, although the battle is neither named nor shown in the film; only the results are depicted). King Guy and Raynald are captured and the latter is killed by Saladin, who then marches upon Jerusalem and besieges it. After three days of intense siege battle, a section of Jerusalem's walls is knocked down, but the defenders are able to hold off Saladin's forces. Balian then surrenders to Saladin under the condition of safe passage for the inhabitants to the Christian Lands.

At the end of the film, Balian is seen back at his old home in France. A column of knights rides by, led by King Richard I of England. Richard tells Balian that he is leading his forces on a new Crusade to retake Jerusalem from Saladin. King Richard seeks Balian, the defender of Jerusalem, to join him, but Balian responds that he is only a blacksmith, and declines. We then see Sibylla, dressed in a rich travelling costume. The film ends with a placard summarizing that after many years of war Richard is unable to retake Jerusalem, and fighting over Jerusalem continues for years to come. "Even today, peace in the Kingdom of Heaven remains elusive."
