Description: Scotland, 1950. With Scots nationalism waning, four university students make a dramatic gesture to awaken their country's pride. They break into Westminster Abbey on Christmas morning and "liberate" the Stone of Destiny. Although they are captured, and the Stone returned, their mission renews Scottish pride and the call for independence.
