The story of a challenge to death
When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives.

The ideal film for the getting of wisdom for any young person setting out to discover himself or herself — history, myth, superstition, and the lottery and gamble of annihilating Death which will never leave us alone.

Ingmar Bergman has been prolific and just for sheer invention and freshness.
