Synopsis
Stone of Destiny (2008) is a British-Canadian crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the true story of four idealistic Scottish students who walked out of Westminster Abbey with a 336-pound medieval boulder on Christmas Day 1950.
Ian Hamilton (Charlie Cox) is a law student with a fierce conviction that Scotland's royal coronation stone belongs home, not in London. Together with an unlikely crew — including Robert Carlyle and Billy Boyd — he hauls the Stone of Scone across England in the back of an old car, dodging checkpoints the entire way. Kate Mara plays the group's lone woman, quietly indispensable.
Directed by Charles Martin Smith, the film keeps the tone light enough to match the sheer absurdity of the plan — which somehow worked. The stone had crowned Scottish monarchs for centuries before Edward I seized it in 1296; its brief return in 1951 made headlines across Britain. Stream Stone of Destiny (2008) online on iFILM.
