Plot

Joseph Fiennes stars as Martin Luther, the brilliant man of God whose defiant actions changed the world, in this film that traces Luther's extraordinary and exhilarating quest for the people's liberation. Regional prices and the powerful Church wield a fast, firm, and merciless grip on 16th-century German. But, when Martin Luther issues a shocking challenge to their authority, the people declare him their new leader - and hero. Even when threatened with violent death, Luther refuses to back down, sparking a bloody revolution that shakes the entire continent to its core.
