A bump on the head sends Hank Martin, 1912 mechanic,
to Arthurian Britain, 528 A.D., where he is befriended
by Sir Sagramore le Desirous and gains power by
judicious use of technology. He and Alisande, the
King's niece, fall in love at first sight, which draws
unwelcome attention from her fiance Sir Lancelot; but
worse trouble befalls when Hank meddles in the
kingdom's politics.

The legend of Arthur is one of the most popular and well
known of British legends. From early brief passages to
the mythic epic we know today, the story of Arthur has
long been a source of inspiration to writers, poets and
artists. Historically, Arthur belongs in the 6th Century
AD, in the period following the Roman withdrawal.
You wouldn't know this however, by the following
anachronisms found in the movie: Battlemented castles
(12th century and later); full plate armour (14th century
and later); spyglass (17th century); and fractured 16th
century grammar.
