Um seine Macht und seinen Einfluss zu steigern, beschließt er, die Insel Rhodos zu erobern - die Heimat des Johanniterordens seit 1310. Fortan belagern 100.000 türkische Krieger das griechische Eiland. Im Innern der bedrängten Stadt bereiten sich 500 Ritter unter der Führung des legendären Großmeisters Philippe de L'Isle Adam darauf vor, der Übermacht zu trotzen.
