Saxophonist Danny witnesses the murder of his band manager and a deaf-mute girl after a gig. Questioned by the police, he remembers only the orthopedic shoes of the killers' leader. So begins his quest to avenge her. He seeks an answer to the simple question 'Why?' but finds only more, and deeper, questions which resonate with the wider context of 'the Troubles', the inter-communal strife gripping the modern-day Northern Ireland which is the film's setting.

O mago Merlin (Nicol Williamson) dá ao rei Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne) a mística Excalibur, a espada do poder. Durante uma emboscada Uther é ferido mortalmente e, pouco antes de morrer, enterra a espada em uma pedra. Fica então decidido que o cavaleiro que puder retirá-la da pedra será o novo rei,. Anos depois o país estava divido em guerra entre os senhores feudais até que Arthur (Nigel Terry), um jovem escudeiro, retira facilmente a espada da pedra. O tempo vai mostrar que o fator de desagregação do reino está na atração que Lancelot (Nicholas Clay) sente por Guinevere (Cherie Lunghi), a rainha. E, somando-se a isto, Morgana (Helen Mirren), a meia-irmã de Arthur, decide que Mordred (Robert Addie), o filho que ela teve com Arthur, deve ocupar o trono.
