A Knight's Tale is a 2001 action/adventure/romantic comedy directed, produced, and written by Brian Helgeland. The film stars Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk, and Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer. The film follows the story of William Thatcher, a peasant turned knight, along with his companions in the world of Medieval jousting. William poses as a knight and competes in tournaments, winning accolades and acquiring friendships with such historical figures as Edward the Black Prince of Wales and Geoffrey Chaucer. The film is very loosely based on Chaucer's 'The Knight's Tale' in his Canterbury Tales. The film was a box office success, garnering $117,487,473 with a budget of just over $41,000,000.
