The Eagle opens in theaters today, and to help kick it off, JustPressPlay is giving away some swag. Based on the novel The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff, The Eagle takes place in 140 AD and follows the young centurion Marcus Aguila (Channing Tatum) who arrives twenty years after the unexplained disappearance of the entire Ninth Legion in the mountains of Scotland and sets out with his British slave (Jamie Bell) to solve the mystery and restore the reputation of his father, the commander of the Ninth. Marcus will cross Hadrian's Wall into the uncharted highlands of Caledonia - to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father's memory, and retrieve the lost legion's golden emblem, the Eagle of the Ninth.
The Eagle stars Tatum, Bell, Donald Sutherland, Mark Strong and Tahar Rahim and is directed by Kevin Macdonald (The Last King of Scotland, State of Play, One Day in September).
