The Film "Legion" And What You Need To Know About It

By Daryl Mitchell

Every single year tons of movies are released with the hopes that audiences will love them. While there are certainly many movies that might have been very well received throughout 2010, it might be safe to suggest that one of the most acclaimed films of this year was the impressive action film "Legion".

There are all kinds of different things that you might care to know about this particular film, and through reading this article you are going to get a good impression as to just what they are. You are going to get introduced to a few of the names that make this film remarkable and some of the key plot points that you might care to understand before actually watching the flick.

You should be relieved, though, that this particular synopsis will not give you spoilers to the story. With that being said, if you have not seen the film and wanted to learn just a little more about it, you should read entirely through this article. This will not spoil some of the bigger factors of the film for you.

When the film begins, you are watching a conversation take place between a man and a woman. The man is Jeep, and he is in love with the woman Charlie. Charlie is pregnant with someone else's baby. Jeep wants to help raise the baby at Charlie's side and have a family, but Charlie is not too keen on the idea of being a family with Jeep and the baby.

You then meet Michael (Paul Bettany) as he descends to Earth. He is an angel that is sent to destroy the human race, but he cannot allow himself to do this. He cuts off his wings to become human. We later learn that God is tired of the way that mankind has been and he wants to start all over by removing his creation entirely. This time, instead of the biblical flood he is sending a massive army of angels to kill everyone.

The salvation of the entire world rests with one child, the child that is inside of Charlie. Now, the end of the world is on the doorstep, and a group of people are held up inside of the business that Jeep's father, Bob (Dennis Quaid) owns. Now there are leagues of angel possessed humans that are trying to kill Charlie and her baby, and consequently anyone that stands in their way.

Michael is one of those people, with the sole purpose of protecting the child that is growing inside of Charlie. He knows that the hope of mankind is this child and he will stop at nothing to ensure that come hell or high water nothing will harm it. This means that he will have to risk his eternal damnation for the sake of the humans who have forsaken him as well as God. It will also mean a battle of epic proportions with another angel army head.

While there might be plenty of other things that you should know about the film "Legion", hopefully you were given a pretty good introduction through having read this piece. While there might be other things to consider, this should give you a good breakdown of the plot. - 40726
