1950, four students -- Kay Matheson, Gavin Vernon, Alan Stuart, and Ian Hamilton -- were disappointed by Scotland's refusal to form its own Parliament. So they stole the Stone Of Destiny from Westminster Cathedral. This is their story. As told by Ian Hamilton, anyway, played here by Charlie Cox.
The Stone of Detiny is also know as the Stone of Scone and a bunch of other titles. Supposedly found in MacBeth's castle, it was used as part of the coronation of Scottish kings until 1296, when Edward I took it south and used it as part of England's coronation regalia.
The story is told with good humor and some lovely photography of Scottish countryside and British interiors by Glen Winter. Hamilton has a brief appearance in the movie.
