Genre: Rites of Passage/Adventure

Tagline
A time to fight and a time to love.

Young Ivanhoe is forced to flee from England after he is sentenced to death for his hot-headed part in a rebellion against the Norman invaders.

However, when he travels to the Holy Land, he and a group of people he meets, are attacked by Assyrians. They only escape with their lives because of the help of TARIF, a fierce Mamluk warrior. He tells the group, that includes orphaned children, that they must travel to the last place the Assyrians will look for them – the desert. Ivanhoe doesn’t want to join them, but the scorn on the face of a beautiful young woman who’s caring for the children, changes his mind. But soon, Ivanhoe finds himself face- to- face, not only with the perils of the desert, but Tarif’s ridicule and Debra’s indifference.

As they travel on their long, dangerous journey through the desert and into the mountains, Ivanhoe becomes determined to show them both that he is capable of selfless courage.
