FREEEDOMMM! Let's take a trip into the world of Braveheart! With all that happened in this epic war film, there was a core group of characters that helped make this film memorable. All you have to do is answer these questions and we'll reveal which one you are!

Braveheart was a war film released in 1995. Written by Randall Wallace, it was inspired by the poem, The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Camioun Schir William Wallace by Blind Harry. Although that name is a mouthful, Wallace was able to adapt its plot and long title for the movie screen. Starting in the late 1200s, it follows a man who attempts to lead the Scottish army in their first war against England. 

This film performed well at the box office and even won five Academy Awards. One of them was for Best Director, which was awarded to Mel Gibson, who also starred in the film as William Wallace. He was joined on the cast by Sophie Merceau, Angus Macfadyen and Patrick McGoohan. These actors helped the film's characters come to life. But which one are you?
