Wilhelm Tell

Every rating
In 14th-century Switzerland, the tyrannical Austrian ruler Gessler demands that the citizens bow to a hat placed on a pole, symbolizing their submission. The skilled archer Wilhelm Tell refuses this humiliating order. In punishment, Gessler forces Tell to shoot an apple off his own son's head, a cruel test that sparks a rebellion against the oppressive foreign rule and ignites the fight for Swiss independence.
