Knightriders

A troupe of medieval reenactors, led by the charismatic Billy, attempt to live by the code of King Arthur's Round Table in the modern world. Their quest for honor and chivalry is tested as their lifestyle clashes with society's realities, leading to internal strife, external exploitation, and a tragic descent into disillusionment.

Knightriders received a mixed to positive reception upon its release. While praised by some critics for its ambitious scope, unique premise, and Romero's distinctive directorial style, others found its length and pacing to be a drawback. Audiences were divided, with some appreciating its thoughtful exploration of idealism versus reality, while others found it overly long and ponderous.

• Praised for its unique and ambitious concept, blending medieval fantasy with modern struggles.
• Noted for strong performances, particularly from Ed Harris as the idealistic leader.
• Criticized by some for its lengthy runtime and uneven pacing.

Google audience: Google users generally appreciate the film's originality and Ed Harris's performance, though some find it to be a bit too long and slow-paced for their liking.

The jousting sequences in the film were not staged; the actors involved were actual participants in Renaissance faires and engaged in real jousting competitions.
