Synopsis: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon_High_(film)
Allie Pennington, the daughter of two medieval literature scholars,
transfers to Avalon High and becomes involved in a prophesied re-staging
of Arthurian legend. Allie meets various new people who she later
discovers are the reincarnations of figures from the legendary Camelot.
She befriends two boys: Will, a quarterback and most likely the
reincarnation of Arthur, and Miles, who has psychic flashes and is most
likely the reincarnation of Merlin. There's also a third boy, Marco -
Will's stepbrother, whom Allie believes is the reincarnation of Mordred
and determined to kill Arthur (Will) – which would send the world into
another dark age.
Allie gets a project from her teacher and Miles is her partner. He
comes over to study but they need help from her parents who wrote the
book they are studying on.
As Allie gets closer to her classmates, she starts to experience
visions of King Arthur and becomes better friends with Will. She starts
to suspect that the legend of the prophecy is true. She discovers at a
party that Jennifer (Will's girlfriend) and Lance (his best friend) are
having an affair behind Will's back. She fears that if Will found out he
would suffer the same fate as King Arthur and meet his downfall, while
her own feelings for Will start to grow. Together, Miles and Allie
discover the day King Arthur is prophesied to return.
Will suffers from morale blows both in school and at practice that
shake his confidence before the big game, which Will has to win in order
to gain a scholarship to please his overbearing father. Allie tries to
tell Will about Jennifer and Lance's affair but is constantly
interrupted, so she enlists the help of Mr. Moore (Allie, Will, Lance,
Miles' medieval history teacher) to protect Will.
On the night of the game Will arrives early to school and sees
Jennifer and Lance together and takes off; Allie and Marco give chase.
Finding Will at the forest where they had previously spent time
together, she tells him that he is King Arthur, but he takes it as a
metaphor about him returning to the game. Allie and Miles then attend
and watch as Will returns to the game as the prophesied eclipse and
meteor shower take place. At half time, Lance apologizes to Will for the
affair but Will instead gives his blessing for Lance and Jennifer to be
together, forgiving them both. Will then asks to meet Allie after the
game, but he disappears from the game. Allie and Miles go in search and
for the first time, Miles uses his psychic power at will to find him.
Going to the school theater, they find an injured Marco outside and
Will inside the theater, again Allie tells him the truth of his
identity. Mr. Moore arrives and reveals that he is really Mordred and
that Marco's father was actually a member of the Order of the Bear
before he died. Ever since he died, Marco has sworn to continue his
fathers job to protect Arthur (Will), and had been trying to gain Mr.
Moore's trust. Mr. Moore (Mordred) then attacks the group. Allie grabs a
prop sword to stop Mr. Moore, but it transforms into Excalibur,
revealing that she is the real reincarnation of King Arthur. Mr. Moore
and Allie duel in an alternate reality, where Will, Marco, Miles
(Merlin), and Lance (Lancelot) are also present and fighting. With the
help of Merlin, Allie defeats Mordred.
Back in the theater they are able to escape and Mr. Moore is
detained. Will then returns to the game and promises to talk with Allie
afterwards, and he proceeds to win the game. Miles now embraces his
powers and becomes more social which gets him a girlfriend. At the end
of the game, Will kisses Allie and they leave the game together hand in
hand.
All the characters gathered together at the round table dressed as
their legendary counterparts. The movie closes with Allie riding along
the beach on a horse.
