The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc

Joan of Arc 1999

Joan of Arc (Milla Jovovich) was born in 1412 in Domremy, an ordinary French village, into a poor farming family. In those years, when the "Hundred Years' War" was in full swing, France was occupied by the British. At the same time, countries ate each other from the inside and were dragged into civil war. Only one thing could save France on this dark day; miracle!... In those days, 13-year-old Zhanna would spend her days praying and often claiming to receive divine insights. From the beginning she was told what Jeanne's purpose was: she was chosen to save France and help Prince Charles (John Malkovich) become King of France.
