Synopsis
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) is Ridley Scott's historical epic you can watch online on iFILM. Orlando Bloom plays Balian de Ibelin, a French blacksmith who follows his dying father — played by Liam Neeson — to Jerusalem and inherits both a knighthood and a war. Filmed across Spain and Morocco on a $130 million budget for Scott Free Productions and 20th Century Fox.
Balian arrives in the Holy City as the fragile peace collapses. Crusader hotheads Reynald de Chatillon and Guy de Lusignan want a fight. Saladin's army waits outside the walls. Jeremy Irons plays Tiberias, the cool-headed marshal who sees the endgame coming; Eva Green is Sibylla, torn between her crown and the man she trusts. One wrong move and Jerusalem burns — and Balian is the only person trying to stop it.
Scott's director's cut runs over three hours and turned critical opinion around completely; the theatrical version was shorter by nearly an hour. The battle sequences alone involved thousands of extras across the Moroccan desert. Stream Kingdom of Heaven (2005) online on iFILM — a war drama about loyalty, faith, and what a city is actually worth.
