In the year 1099, during the Crusades in the 11th Century, Christian soldiers arrive to Jerusalem and slaughter the local population.

Christian knight Charles Le Vaillant (Jean-Claude Van Damme) becomes demoralized by the horrors of war, and he decides to create a new religious order. This new order brings together, in a peaceful manner, members from the three main religions of the region: Christians, Jews, and Muslims.

As a self-imposed leader and messiah, Charles writes the sacred texts of the Order. The Christian Crusaders accuse Charles of heresy, and attack him and his disciples. During the attack, the last chapter from their religious text becomes lost in the desert.

In modern-day Israel, a devout contingent of Le Vaillant’s followers continues to practice his peaceful teachings. But a disciple named Cyrus (Brian Thompson) has a distorted view of the Order’s ecumenical intention.

In present time, Rudy Cafmeyer (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is a thief and smuggler of valuable historical artifacts. Rudy manages to break into a high security building where he steals a precious Fabergé egg. Needless to say, the alarm goes off and Rudy has to fight his way out of the building.

Despite his thievery, Rudy is not really a bad guy. He stole such a precious object from the personal collection of a powerful Russian mafia boss. As a matter of fact, Rudy is a good and loving son, who would do anything for his father Oscar “Ozzie” Cafmeyer (Vernon Dobtcheff).

Ozzie, an archaeologist and museum curator, discovers the manuscripts that were lost during the crusades. The manuscripts clearly extol interfaith harmony. Read more
