Based on Noah Gordon's best-selling novel sold over 21 million times worldwide. THE PHYSICIAN tells the story of Rob Cole (Tom Payne), a boy who is left a penniless orphan in an 11th-century English mining town when his mother dies of a mysterious illness. Vowing to become a physician and vanquish Death itself, he travels to Isfahan in Persia to study medicine under the great Ibn Sina. Through countless ordeals and challenges, and making many sacrifices along the way, he struggles on unwaveringly.

Critics' reviews

"An ambitious and gorgeously mounted period film set in 11th century Persia that mostly avoids senseless CGI battles if not all period-film clichés."

Boyd van Hoeij: The Hollywood Reporter
