About the movie:

Centurion is based on the legend of the ill-fated Ninth Legion, which mysteriously disappeared in the 1st Century. AD 117: The Roman Empire stretches from Egypt to Spain, and east as far as the Black Sea. But in Scotland, the relentless onslaught of conquest has ground to a halt in the face of the guerilla tactics of an elusive enemy - the savage and terrifying tribes known as the Picts. Centurion Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, is rescued by the legion of Titus Flavius Virilus, which has been ordered into Caledonia to wipe out the Picts and to kill their king, Gorlacon. When the legion is wiped out in a surprise attack, Dias and six other survivors race to rescue their captured general before they can head back towards the safely of the Roman frontier.
