Film, Wang Film Productions, Hanho Heung-Up and Canuck Creations.It is a lightened up version of the life of Don Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar (aka El Cid), or rather, of the 1961 movie with Charlton Heston, which itself is a very loose adaptation in its own right. Rodrigo is a brash and young knight from Castella with a promising future who becomes entangled in a conspiracy with his enemies that see him exiled from his home. However, a cruel conqueror who desires to subjugate both Christians and Moors, will crush anyone who stands in his path. In order to return to his home and to the arms of his beloved Jimena, Rodrigo needs to rally both factions to unite and stand together against this tyrant.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })See also the 2020 Spanish live-action series.

Artistic License – History: Several examples. In the movie, Rodrigo is exiled as an young man immediately after Afonso had swore before multiple holy relics that he wasn't involved in Sancho's death. In real life, he was exiled in his late thirties over different circumstances and had previously served Afonso faithfully.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Action Girl: While Jimena isn't trained in combat, she qualifies for this trope. She breaks out of Yusuf's harem on her own, breaks free from his grasp when he tries to use her as Human Shield against Rodrigo and saves her beloved at the end by throwing back his sword allowing him to finish off Yusuf. The ending makes it more poignant when she steps down from Rodrigo's horse and rides her own, walking together with him.
