Flesh And Blood (1985 film)
Flesh & Blood (stylized as Flesh+Blood) is a 1985 dramatic adventure film directed by Paul Verhoeven and starring Rutger Hauer, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tom Burlinson and Jack Thompson. It was written by Verhoeven and Gerard Soeteman. The story is set in the year 1501 in Italy, during the passing of the Late Middle Ages to the Early modern period, and follows two warring groups of mercenaries and their convoluted and longstanding confrontation.
The script is partly based on unused material for the Dutch TV series Floris, which was the début for Verhoeven, Soeteman and Hauer. The film was also known as The Rose and the Sword on early VHS releases.
