Charles Martin Smith wrote and directed the project, based on Ian Hamilton's book, The Taking Of the Stone Of Destiny.
The film is based on the true story of nationalist Ian Hamilton, one of the group who tried to bring the Stone of Scone from London back to Scotland in the 1950s. The famed block of sandstone was used for centuries for the coronation of Scottish monarchs.

Boswell said: 'The fantastic cast that we have assembled is testament to the strength of Charles' script. All the actors were excited and enthusiastic as soon as they read the screenplay; they didn't take much persuading to come on board!'
