Set against the backdrop of the 14th-century Black Death , the film follows two Teutonic Knights , Behmen (Cage) and Felson (Perlman), who desert their order after witnessing the senseless massacre of civilians during the Crusades . Their desertion serves as the central thematic anchor: a crisis of faith. Behmen's struggle isn't with God, but with the fallible and often violent men who lead the Church. This moral conflict is further tested when they are captured and forced to escort a young woman, Anna (played by Claire Foy ), to a remote monastery. The Church believes she is a witch responsible for the plague, while Behmen, plagued by his own past violence against the innocent, demands she receive a fair trial.
