‘Excalibur’ Movie Summary
Excalibur begins with the sorcerer Merlin retrieving the sword, Excalibur, from the Lady of the Lake. He does so at the request of Uther Pendragon who is currently at peace with the Duke of Cornwall.
That peace winds up ruined because Uther has a hard on for the Duke’s wife, Igrayne. He gets Merlin to agree to help him seduce Igrayne, and all Merlin asks in return is to have any child their romp produces. Merlin uses his Charm of Making to transform Uther into the Duke’s spitting image.
The Duke of Cornwall and his army raids Uther’s camp where the Duke is mortally wounded. His daughter, Morgana, senses his death, and when she spots Uther transformed as her father, the ruse doesn’t fool her. However, it does fool Igrayne, and Uther impregnates her.
