Plots(1)

Ingrid Bergman is spellbinding as the 15th century French peasant girl who rouses a nation and inspires the world with her faith and bravery. Fiercely believing that she is directed by God, Joan triumphantly leads an army into battle against the British, who are driven from France. When a new king (Jose Ferrer) is crowned, Joan's influence grows and makes him wary of her power, ultimately betraying her to martyrdom. (official distributor synopsis)
