Not to expect those green witches with a broomstick nor dames like in The Craft. There are a few noted ladies and do do mean few, 2 the least. Brehmen( Nicholas Cage) and companion Felson (Ron Pearlman) were fighting in the crusades and decided to desert the order when they were involved in the massacre of civilians. During their travel, they came across a town where they were arrested as a deserter. Upon hearing words that a knight is in town, the Cardinal requested the knight to venture in a quest of transporting an alleged witch for causing a plague in his land. Agreeing upon the clearing of their charges of deserters and a proper fair trial for the witch, the knights sets out on the road to travel to a remote monastery to determine whether the girl is truly a witch. If found guilty, a ritual will be performed to cancel her powers.
The party for the quest seems more like a road to redemption, each member has a history to clear. From clearing charges as deserters, living up to the name of his deceased father who was a knight, a swindler in return of pardon and a knight who lost his daughter. The journey was torturous where a member dies at some point. And upon reaching the monastery, the group realized that a greater force is at play, greater than witchery.
