Royal damsel wasn’t waiting to be rescued—but was the deadliest fighter in the entire kingdom! The Princess flips every fairy tale on its head with nonstop action, brutal swordplay, and a heroine who takes matters—and swords—into her own hands. This isn’t just a princess locked in a tower. This is a warrior in a wedding dress fighting for her freedom. But is The Princess based on a real story? Nope—but it feels like the action-packed fantasy we wish we grew up with.

In this movie recap, we dive into the heart-pounding action, review the most jaw-dropping scenes, and explain the empowering ending that delivers justice with steel. We’ll also explore “how to beat” a castle full of mercenaries using elite fighting techniques, agility, and secret combat skills that would make even Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo proud.

Though The Princess isn’t an American comedy or a prison comedy like Big Stan or Let’s Go to Prison, it does have a locked-tower setup and a lone warrior vibe that echoes those trapped-under-pressure narratives—except this princess doesn’t need saving. She does the saving. And the slaying.

With tyrants, bullies, and would-be kings trying to steal the crown and control the kingdom’s bank money, the film plays out like a medieval revenge mission set in a slightly fake reality—where fairy tales come with bone-crushing fight choreography. She may not have super powers, but her combat instincts, swordplay, and raw grit make her feel nearly unstoppable.

If you’re into fairy tales with fire, royal rage, and epic fight scenes that deliver more punch than polish, The Princess is a must-watch. Join us as we break down every battle, every twist, and every moment this warrior proves that real royalty doesn’t bow—it fights back.

00:00in the highest room of a medieval stone tower a princess lies in bed she looks peaceful dressed
00:10in fine clothes surrounded by roses and warmed by a lit furnace but when she stirs awake she
00:16finds her hands locked in shackles there's a sharp ache behind her head and a foggy memory
00:22of how she ended up here her vision is blurry at first the room dipping and swaying until it
00:27slowly comes into focus no guards in sight her legs are free giving her a small chance to move
00:32and look around but escape is out of the question there's only an open window with a violent sea far
00:37below and across the room a closed door with muffled voices growing louder on the other side as the
00:42voices get closer and more alert she rushes back into bed and pretends to sleep when the guards
00:48enter the room they see what they expect a sleeping princess one guard steps forward ignoring a warning
00:54from the other but it's too late the princess strikes first smashing her forehead into his face with
01:01all the force she can manage they only hear her scream not realizing she just broke her thumb to
01:06slip out of the cuff now free she grabs the chain and swings it like a flail
01:14turning her restraint into a weapon but that's not all she has
01:18hidden in her hair is a sharp stiletto pin which she drives straight into the face of a guard forcing
01:26him back until he falls with his partner down the second guard steps up but she's no scared prisoner
01:32she grabs the blade from the body and strikes again first in the calf then in the shoulder the knife
01:37stays buried in his shoulder and as he rises she's still hanging on holding the other end he tries to
01:43shake her loose but she fights harder wrapping the chain around her fist and turning each punch into
01:48a brutal heavy blow to his face the fight rages until she drives him back toward the open window
01:53he mocks the idea of escape but she's not planning to jump she's planning to finish him
02:00and with one hard kick she sends him flying out the window into the crashing sea below there's barely
02:05time to breathe another guard enters the room she grabs a heavy hammer and charges beating him down she
02:11takes his keys unlocks her other wrist and after quickly cleaning herself up she leaves the room
02:16locks the door and tosses the keys aside soon the princess reaches another room in the tower one with
02:21a view of the chaos unfolding below through the window she sees guards locking down the entrance so
02:27no one can escape or get in a crowd is being held at the mercy of julius and his enforcer moira the
02:32royal family has fallen and the king's pleas for peace and diplomacy mean nothing now julius has his own
02:38plans he intends to marry the princess and rule the kingdom with a stronger harsher hand correcting
02:44what he sees as the king's weakness with power and dominance as her family is dragged out of sight
02:49guilt sets in with only two daughters the kingdom had no male heir that's why she was promised to julius
02:55the king reminded her of that as he walked her to the altar but she couldn't go through with it
03:00she left him at the altar and that's when everything spiraled out of control now soaked in silence
03:05she hides as a massive figure enters the room a giant he's unaware of her presence as he steps in
03:10to relieve himself she hides inside a tub filled with water trying to stay perfectly still bubbles
03:16rise as she struggles to hold her breath the giant too distracted by his reflection in the mirror
03:21never notices her eventually he finishes and leaves the princess bursts out of the water gasping for air
03:27soaked to the bone her dress becomes more of a burden than anything else she peels off the heavy
03:32layers and moves on careful to avoid more guards but in the hallway she runs straight into the giant
03:38again he's got a sword as massive as he is and his skin is thick even in the places he just relieved
03:44himself it's a battle of brute strength against skill at first she holds him off then she finds an
03:49opening and starts turning his own power against him the fight escalates until she gets the upper hand
03:54climbing up onto his shoulders grabbing the horns on his helmet and yanking it off she drives one of
03:59the horns into his back then smashes him in the head with the helmet knocking him out cold the moment
04:04stirs a memory she remembers being a young girl who dreamed of becoming a warrior she looked up to
04:09lynn her mother pregnant at the time had wanted a son and didn't approve of her daughter training
04:14like a soldier but lynn managed to convince the queen to allow the lessons as long as the king never
04:19found out meanwhile down by the shore the body of the guard she kicked out the window has washed up
04:25soldiers drag it in and present it to julius kerr the head of the guards believes the man just fell
04:31but moira sees the bruises and knows better julius doesn't like risks he orders kerr to check on the
04:36princess and makes it clear what will happen if things go wrong but once julius is out of sight kerr
04:41shifts the danger to someone else he picks another guard for the job someone who looks more suited for
04:47standing around than climbing the type who hasn't seen the top of a staircase in years back in the tower
04:53the princess takes a moment to rest in another room she strips off more of a ruined dress to move
04:58easier it turns out to be a smart move two thieves suddenly burst in she acts fast grabbing a broken
05:04wooden post and stabbing the first one the second lunges but she's already pulling the lace from her
05:09corset in one smooth motion she ties him to a nearby pillar binding him in place with quick sharp precision
05:15she finds a crossbow and aims it at the thief still tied to the pillar demanding to know what julius
05:21has done with her family but like the others he doubts her even restrained he mocks her convinced
05:26she doesn't even know how to use it that thought doesn't last the first thief stirs behind her
05:31barely upright again until she spins around and fires one shot no hesitation the body drops for the
05:37final time if the man tied to the pillar didn't take her seriously before he should now but he stays
05:43defiant still trying to talk his way through her questions she ends the noise with another clean shot no
05:48answers but she leaves with a sword the tower is crawling with guards all scavenging for riches
05:55and spoils she moves carefully avoiding every patrol while the heavyset guard rests on a window ledge
06:00halfway up the stairs trying to catch his breath the princess clings to the outside of that same ledge
06:06holding on tight above the rocks and sea below the sword's weight is too much to balance so she lets it
06:11fall watching it vanish into the water once the guard continues his slow climb she pulls herself back
06:17inside breathless then she keeps moving slipping quietly through shadows and narrow halls dodging
06:22the distracted men too busy feasting and stealing to notice her julius has no idea his soldiers are
06:27looting behind his back she finds a bedchamber just after some guards leave this one she knows well
06:32she walks straight to a hidden spot and draws a blade one only she would know is there holding it
06:37old memories return training in the forest with lynn lessons not just in fighting but in fighting with
06:42heart not rage to challenge her lynn had invited kai the king's advisor and her own former mentor he
06:49had trained lynn and now he was there to test the next generation the princess held her own when the
06:54fight ended kai gave her the sword as a gift proof that she had a warrior's heart now she straps on a
06:59belt and boots leaving her delicate shoes behind armed and ready she listens she hears julius's voice
07:05drifting through a narrow passage she follows it finds a small crack in the wall and peers through there he is
07:11with moira not just allies lovers julius can't seize the kingdom by force at least not in the eyes of
07:18the nobles to gain power he needs to marry the princess and pretend to follow tradition then the
07:23moment the crown is placed on his head the king will be killed a marriage proposal backed by blades
07:28a royal murder dressed up as ceremony now the princess finally has her answers moira continues
07:34whispering sweet encouragement pushing julius further down the path towards seizing the throne her words
07:39blend with passion as she pulls him in kissing him deeply and guiding him toward the wall their moans
07:44echoing softly the princess sees her chance clever and quick she sets a trap behind the wall predicting
07:50exactly where the lovers will drift she carves out a narrow hole creating the perfect angle for a
07:55deadly strike her blade inches from julius's head the moment that could have ended everything
08:00is cut short by a knock at the door a guard brings news the king is asking to meet moira is torn
08:06annoyed at the interruption but satisfied that progress is being made meanwhile the guard sent a
08:10check on the princess finally reaches the top of the tower gasping for breath he peeks through the
08:15keyhole and sees what looks like a guard slouched in a chair and the princess asleep in bed satisfied
08:21he turns and starts the long walk back down to report to kerr the princess still deep in enemy
08:26territory moves unseen through the halls guards are everywhere but they're focused on looting not watching
08:32below the king meets with julius calm and measured he urges julius to reconsider his approach warning
08:38that this path will only turn his people against him but julius isn't moved he lays out his grievance
08:44accusing the king of betrayal to him it all began with the princess her refusal her defiance her
08:51abandonment far above the princess squeezes through a narrow window into another part of the castle
08:56crawling out onto a ledge she lands between the legs of a massive armored guard at first she assumes he's
09:02just another oversized soldier not worth her focus until his sword pins her clothing to the floor
09:07she's caught off guard and not thrilled to face another giant right after the last but survival
09:12kicks in she dodges his wild swings her blade clashing against layers of steel each hit sparks as
09:19metal strikes metal her attacks barely leave a scratch then she finds an opening his armpit exposed
09:24beneath all that armor she strikes it three times with precision then using his oiled armor to her
09:30advantage she grabs a lit candle and throws it flames explode across his body setting him ablaze in
09:36seconds the meeting between julius and the king ends in failure julius is still bent on power and
09:42dominance just as he's about to leave the out of shape guard from earlier arrives to report that the
09:47princess is safe and sound in her room right then the flaming corpse of the armored guard crashes down
09:53from above landing at julius's feet furious julius orders ker to end whatever madness is happening in the
09:59tower but ker won't get the chance as soon as julius steps away moira tries to assert herself she makes
10:05a bold comment suggesting a theory ker mocks her calling her a harlot and dismissing her voice as
10:10meaningless moira doesn't argue she lets her whip speak instead snapping it straight into his throat blood
10:18pours as he collapses his body twitching on the floor falls silent without missing a beat moira steps
10:25into ker's role and gives her first command find the intruder and finish her no more chances the princess
10:30aware of what's coming watches as troops scatter across the tower in search of her panic builds in
10:35her chest fear takes over and she runs but her escape is blocked three fighters come at her she's slashed
10:42across the arm but she doesn't stop she drops two with fast clean strikes one throat after another the
10:48third falls as she breaks past them the number of enemies becomes overwhelming that's when she makes a
10:53risky move ripping off her diamond necklace and scattering the gems across the floor the chasing
10:58guards trip and tumble giving her just enough of a window to flee but it's not over one humiliated guard
11:04charges his pride fueling his rage she now carries a shield and with it she holds her ground the blow
11:10comes as expected and ends as it should then the rest swarm one sword slashes across her waist she screams
11:17a sound that stops the crowd cold but she doesn't fall she grabs the nearest guard and uses him as a
11:23shield then makes a daring leap down to a lower level of the castle one guard tries to follow but
11:28lands hard legs shattered the others are forced to take the stairs the chubby guard stumbles past the
11:33princess like a half-dead zombie too out of it to even notice her she watches him go stunned that he
11:39doesn't recognize the danger he's walking past spotting a flag just outside the window she dives out and
11:44grabs it swinging along the vertical wall she builds momentum side to side before landing inside a
11:49nearby room pain shoots through her side her waist wound bleeding badly memories start to surface she
11:54had once overheard her parents discussing her future her marriage her mother had begged the king to
11:59reconsider but he dismissed her concerns he wanted what he believed was best for the kingdom she had
12:04stepped out in her training gear that day armor instead of a dress shocking her father he hadn't known
12:10until that moment angry he tried to reason with her calling her foolish and delusional in his eyes the
12:15throne needed a man she might dream of knighthood but he saw a child in need of protection to him
12:22marrying julius was protection a respectable man from a respectable family he left her with the choice
12:28trusting she'd come around when her childish tantrum passed she had been close to tears then and now
12:34with that memory fading the sting returns footsteps snap her out of it she reacts fast tackling the
12:40figure that enters and pinning them to the ground only to see lynn beneath her the two freeze then
12:45breathe lynn had been climbing up to find her and is relieved they met halfway as lynn treats the
12:50princess's wounds she explains what happened julius brought soldiers in the dead of night the king's
12:56guards were outnumbered lynn barely escaped along with a few others the princess overwhelmed with guilt
13:01starts to blame herself but lynn cuts it off the past won't help now lynn knows where the royal family
13:07is being held and more importantly how to get there there's an unguarded route through the kitchen
13:11they're going to take it once inside they silently signal the cook to leave a group of guards are
13:16cornering a female servant their intentions vile and obvious lynn and the princess have the element of
13:22surprise but lynn bumps into something and causes a loud clatter one of the guards confused by lynn's
13:28sudden appearance barely reacts before she drops him with a frying pan the princess moves fast helping
13:33the servant escape and leaving three guards against the two of them in the kitchen everything becomes
13:38a weapon pots vegetables water even rags the princess takes down one lynn another one guard
13:44remains he lunges through the air but never lands moira's whip lashes around his ankle and yanks him
13:50back crashing him into the floor it's a dramatic entrance moira doesn't attack immediately she speaks first
13:56mocking the princess saying all of this chaos could have been avoided if she had just played the weak
14:01helpless role expected her whip gives her reach and power striking without risk the princess and lynn
14:08struggle to close the gap then things turn worse the whip snaps around the princess's neck and moira
14:13starts choking the life out of her but lynn won't back down she fights through and finally frees the princess
14:19then creates a barrier of fire between them and moira just enough to help the princess escape
14:24the princess wants to stay and fight but her family comes first she disappears into a sloping tunnel
14:30moving fast her path leads her into a room where guards are gambling and drinking without hesitation
14:36she storms in snatches a cup from one of them and downs it staring them down as they struggle to
14:42process what's happening the first guard bold enough to grab her gets knocked out cold with the same
14:46cup she doesn't slow down in seconds all three are down just as her family steps into view the king is
14:52proud the queen looks stunned violet her little sister smiles like she expected nothing less the
14:58princess frees them and starts leading the way to safety but in war staying close to the people you
15:04love can be its own weakness just moments into their escape a heavy strike hits the princess's head
15:10everything goes dark she wakes up disoriented her vision clears just in time to see her family
15:15recaptured and lynn bloodied and dragged in by moira julius doesn't hide his disappointment he taunts
15:21the princess but she fires back with sharp words and cold defiance he reveals his twisted plan
15:26expecting her to resist but to his surprise she agrees saying she looks forward to what comes next
15:32her voice drips with sarcasm as she vows to make his rule miserable and if he dares to kill her
15:38she promises she'll haunt him for the rest of his days moira grows tense under the princess's
15:43mockery but julius is finished with the games he turns to the younger sister violet quiet innocent and
15:49still just a child tears fall down the princess's cheeks the king still holding on to a shred of
15:54hope for julius's decency though no one knows why thinks surely he'll draw the line here but julius
16:00has no such line the princess and lynn lock eyes no words are needed the plan is clear the princess
16:06charges forward creating chaos to distract moira and the guards it's enough for lynn to slip in grab
16:11violet and pull her away from julius's reach but with her hands bound the princess can't fight she's
16:16quickly overpowered and thrown through a high castle window into the cold river below unconscious she
16:22drifts through the current in that dark space between life and death memories return lynn's voice
16:28reminds her the blade is not a fighter's greatest tool it's the heart a real fighter isn't shaped by
16:33combat but by purpose and her purpose has never been clearer her family is in danger she wakes desperate and
16:39gasping she finds a sharp edge slices through her bindings and swims to the surface the wedding must be
16:46stopped back at the castle julius arranges a rushed ceremony clergymen gather guards spread across
16:51every hall searching for the runaway bride but the princess isn't done soaked and bleeding she
16:56finds her way back into the tower determined to finish what she started then another threat a huge
17:02soldier blocks her path laughing as he approaches likely imagining the worst before he can act a massive
17:08statue crashes down onto him violet stands behind it wide-eyed but fierce the princess reunited with lynn
17:14and her little sister can't hide her pride but the weight of the moment settles in she regrets becoming
17:20a fighter maybe if she'd remain just a royal daughter no one would have died but deep down she knows it's
17:26not her choices that made julius a monster guards are still sweeping the castle so lynn leads the princesses
17:32into a hidden storeroom prepared for emergencies the grand hall fills with nobles and guests waiting for a
17:39wedding that should never happen in the storeroom the three arm themselves swords breastplates and
17:45courage even now there's room for a laugh as violet asks to join the fight the princess promises that
17:50one day she will train her properly but not today for now violet must stay hidden and stay safe elsewhere
17:56julius presses a blade to the queen's face demanding she call violet out the queen refuses even with death
18:03staring her down soldiers pour into the castle faster than they can be stopped lynn discards her bow too
18:09slow for the chaos coming and draws a close-range double-edged sword built for exactly this a guard
18:15spots the princess and fires an arrow that just barely misses it throws off their rhythm lynn pulls the
18:21princess into an alcove between stone pillars it's narrow barely enough to hide them but it'll do they
18:26regroup gather themselves and charge back into the fray slicing through wave after wave of enemies julius
18:32ever watchful notices something off a flicker of tension in kai's corner it's subtle a glance a
18:38shift in posture but enough to raise suspicion trusting his instincts he moves in kai realizing
18:44he's been made quickly slips a dagger back into violet's hand he gives her one final nod and silently
18:49urges her to run elsewhere the princess's earlier advice rings true lynn targets weak points joints and
18:55gaps in the armor the tactic works one enemy after another drops under their blades but julius isn't far
19:01behind his instincts lead him directly to violet's hiding spot without hesitation he drags her out
19:06by the arm she fights back but it's no use he orders her to kneel then turns to the priests and demands
19:12they begin the wedding immediately from a distance the princess and lynn catch sight of what's happening
19:18no more time they share one last look and with silent agreement split up lynn bolts for the grand hall
19:24she bursts through the doors like a storm sword drawn launching herself into the fray
19:29her entrance is so sudden and fierce it shatters the moment and draws every eye especially julius's kai
19:36now leads the others to safety while julius finally steps into the fight maybe to remind everyone he's
19:42still the villain at the center of it all but moira isn't interested in a group brawl she breaks away
19:47and heads outside straight for the princess demanding a one-on-one battle as always moira keeps her distance
19:53cracking the whip like she's performing in a ring it slices through the air with brutal precision in the
19:58chaos she even knocks the princess's sword away gaining the upper hand but the princess adapts
20:05fast she shifts tactics grabs hold of the whip mid-swing and turns it back on moira with brutal
20:10force she drives the whip's sharp edge into moira's neck moira falls exactly the way she once tried to
20:17kill the princess strangled by her own weapon her neck snapped by the same deadly cord inside the king takes a
20:24desperate swing at julius but he's too weak his strike barely scratches and julius beats him down
20:30with ease sending him back to the queen perhaps to explain why he didn't land a single real blow lynn
20:36steps forward next taking on julius herself she fights hard but he's skilled his blade finds its way
20:42into her side and the injury draws grim stares from both kai and the princess with his plan unraveling
20:49julius decides to crown himself he picks up the king's crown and places it on his own head like
20:54it was always meant to be there the princess moves in launching her own attack but julius overpowers her
21:01he taunts her mocks her digging deep with cruel words that strike as hard as any blade their fight
21:08spills outside the hall the king and the kingdom watch as the two battle alone steel against steel will
21:14against ego julius boasts about the rain he'll bring about ruling with fear and brute force no
21:20matter who suffers but the princess holds her ground she remembers lynn's training patience and precision
21:25over pride julius talks too much and that becomes his final mistake she waits for the opening and when
21:31it comes she strikes clean her blade slices through his neck ending his reign before it begins his head
21:37drops the fight is over she picks up the crown and returns it to the king the hall is silent for a
21:42moment then bursts into cheers the threat is gone and peace is restored right there the king makes a
21:48bold declaration the princess is the rightful heir no more waiting for a son the future of the kingdom
21:54is hers he turns to her not just as a king but as a father and asks for forgiveness he finally sees her
22:00for who she truly is their joy is complete when kai approaches supporting lynn who's wounded but alive
22:07the princess rushes to her side overwhelmed with relief lynn made it victory fills the air the people
22:14celebrate every enemy has been defeated except one down the hallway the chubby guard finally appears
22:20just now finishing his long journey down the stairs
