The prince she was to marry must gather people to go on a quest to rescue her.What are some good movies that talk about old legends like One Night with the King or Prince of Persia ?Well, One Night with the King was a depiction from the Bible, the story of Esther. And Prince of Persia was based on a video game. But it seems like you want ancient world stories, or older historical works.

Alexander with Colin Farrell
Percy Jackson, the Lightning Thief was a fun one covering Greek Mythology
