Outlaw King tells the true story of Robert the Bruce, a 14th-century Scottish nobleman who rises to lead a rebellion against English rule. After the death of William Wallace and Scotlandβs failed resistance, Robert is forced to submit to the English crown under King Edward I β but the desire for independence still burns within him.
Realizing that peaceful submission will never grant freedom for his people, Robert boldly claims the Scottish crown and declares himself King of Scots. This act makes him a target of the English, especially Prince Edward, who is determined to crush any rebellion and capture Robert.

Robertβs early attempts at rebellion are met with brutal setbacks. His family is captured and punished, and he is forced to flee into the Highlands with only a handful of loyal supporters. Facing impossible odds, Robert rebuilds his army using guerrilla tactics and the support of common Scots.

Through perseverance and strategic brilliance, Robert begins to win small but meaningful victories. He inspires the people of Scotland to rise up with him, slowly turning the tide of war. His most significant triumph comes at the Battle of Loudoun Hill, where his smaller force defeats a much larger English army.

Outlaw King ends with Robert securing a vital foothold in the fight for Scottish independence. While the final outcome of the war lies beyond the filmβs timeline, the story closes on a hopeful note, highlighting Robertβs transformation from reluctant noble to legendary national hero.
