The Falconer Sport of Kings

About This Movie

The Falconer: Sport of Kings is an intriguing blend of adventure and documentary that follows Eddie Brochin's journey into the ancient art of falconry. You really feel the grit and determination in Eddie as he navigates the vast landscapes of Mongolia, learning from the last eagle hunters who trace their lineage back to Gengis Khan. The pacing has a nice ebb and flow; there's enough tension in the training sequences to make you lean in but also plenty of reflective moments that give you a taste of the culture. The practical effects of the majestic eagles soaring through the skies are simply breathtaking. It's a fascinating look at a dying art form and the personal growth of a martial artist trying to master it.
