LOS ANGELES, CA – Fans of the late Heath Ledger can celebrate his legacy and revisit a beloved classic as “A Knight’s Tale” becomes available to stream for free on Tubi beginning January 1st.
The 2001 film, directed by Brian Helgeland, stars Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who dares to defy social constraints and pursue his dreams of knighthood. Set against a backdrop of 14th-century jousting tournaments, the movie infuses a modern sensibility with a rock-and-roll soundtrack featuring iconic artists like Queen and David Bowie.

Bettany recently expressed fond memories of the film, acknowledging the personal impact of working with Heath Ledger. Other co-stars, such as Julia Stiles and Jake Gyllenhaal, have previously shared similar sentiments about missing the late actor.
