Switzerland in the early 14th century: While the Holy Roman Empire is shaken by internal power struggles, the Habsburg King Albrecht wants to expand his power further. But in the villages and valleys of Switzerland, his arbitrary rule sparked popular resistance. When the hunter and former crusader William Tell grants protection to a fleeing farmer, he inevitably gets caught up in the fight for the freedom of his country. But it is not until Albrecht's brutal governor Gessler publicly humiliates him and directly threatens his family that Tell makes an irreversible decision: he becomes not only a resistance fighter - but the leader of a rebellion that will make history.
