Black Knight

2001· PG-13· 1h 35m· Adventure· Comedy· Fantasy

A comedy about a man out of his time and out of his mind.

In "Black Knight" (2001), Martin Lawrence stars as Jamal, a bored Medieval World employee who finds himself inexplicably transported to 14th-century England after a near-drowning incident. As he navigates the treacherous feudal landscape, Jamal's contemporary sensibilities clash hilariously with the era's chivalric conventions. The film lampoons the medieval genre with sharp satire and physical comedy, as Jamal inadvertently disrupts the plans of a conniving knight (David Spade) while yearning for a return to the comfort and safety of his own time.
