The Bruce is a 1996 medieval historical film set in Scotland and England. The film focuses primarily on the rise to power of Robert I of Scotland, culminating in the Battle of Bannockburn in AD 1314.
This film was directed by Bob Carruthers and David McWhinnie. Parts of the film were shot at Craigmillar Castle in Edinburgh, and at Peebles in the Scottish Borders.
The film received generally poor to mixed responses. Empire gave the film one star out of five, criticising the film's battle scenes, calling them "lacklustre and unimpressive" and "unconvincing and downright laughable".
