In 15th-century France, a devout peasant girl named Joan of Arc receives visions from God instructing her to lead the French army against the English occupation. Despite her humble origins and the skepticism of many, she rises to become a national heroine, inspiring her troops to victory and playing a pivotal role in the Hundred Years' War. Her military triumphs eventually lead to her capture, trial, and execution, but her legend endures as a symbol of faith and French nationalism.
