Dark Knight

Action & AdventureSci-Fi & Fantasy

"Dark Knight" is a TV series, based very loosely on Sir Walter Scott's novel "Ivanhoe". This joint New Zealand/England production attempted to capitalize on the same sword and sorcery market successfully mined by "Xena: Warrior Princess". Ancient evil is about to be unleashed on the land and the only hope is the sharp sword, the pure heart and the mysterious force that protects the 'Chosen One' Ivanhoe.
