About The Last Duel:
The Last Duel tells the story of the last day in the life of King Charles VI, who is played by Alex Lawther. The film takes place during the Hundred Years War between France and England. After a series of losses to the English, the French army has retreated from Normandy and are now preparing for one final confrontation with their enemy at Patay in central France.
It’s on this battlefield that Jean de Carrouges (Matt Damon) volunteers his services as an assassin to take out some key members of the English army- including John Talbot (Ben Affleck). Talbot’s men kill Carrouges, but the French win the battle – which brings a temporary peace to France that will last for another 11 years until the country is once again drawn into battles with its neighbor in England.
