Plot overview
The focus of the film set in the 12th century is the construction of a cathedral in the fictional town of Kingsbridge in southern England. Philip, the prior of the Kingsbridge monastery, tries with the help of the stonemason Tom Builder to make the dream of a mighty cathedral come true. At the same time, a war of succession raged in England between Stephan von Blois and his cousin Matilda , the biological daughter of the late King Henry I of England. So that the cathedral can be built without delay, Philip and Tom need the help of Alienas, the daughter of the former Count Bartholomew of Shiring, who, like those seeking help, takes on the new Count of Shiring, Lord William Hamleigh, and the power-addicted Bishop Waleran Bigod .
Complete plot
Part 1
The English heir to the throne William, heir to King Henry I , was killed in a shipwreck while crossing France in 1120. Almost 20 years later and after the death of King Henry I, when the country was ruled by a war for power, the job-seeking master builder Tom Builder moved with his pregnant wife and two children through the county of Shiring. After his wife died in childbirth and the newborn child who had been abandoned by Tom was brought to the Kingsbridge monastery by a monk, the three of them met the healer Ellen and her artistically gifted son Jack several times on their journey. Ellen helps Tom find work at the court of Count Bartholomew von Shiring. At the same time, the young monk Philip is elected prior of the run-down monastery in Kingsbridge. Philip informs the future Bishop Waleran Bigod of the planned overthrow of the new King Stephen. Count Bartholomew of Shiring is ousted and the Hamleigh family take control of Shiring.
Tom, Ellen and the children leave Shiring and eventually come to Kingsbridge Priory . There Tom learns from Ellen's son Jack that Tom's abandoned child is in the monastery. The stonemason does not reveal himself to the monks as his father, but asks Prior Philip for a job to renovate the dilapidated church. But this refuses for lack of money. When Jack notices that his mother and Tom have fallen in love, but Tom has problems finding work, he secretly sets a fire that destroys the entire church. Since Tom Builder offers to make the crypt usable again for the church service in exchange for board and lodging, he is appointed master builder. Having always dreamed of building a cathedral , he was able to convince Philip to build one according to his plans.
Part 2
The foundations for the cathedral have now been laid, but Philip's enemies deny the workers of the monastery access to the quarry, even though the monastery was promised to use it for the construction of the church by the king. The quarry was occupied by the brutal son of Shiring County, William Hamleigh, on the advice of Bishop Waleran - a power-hungry and influential man who despised the construction of the cathedral. The construction of the cathedral is therefore on the brink of failure due to the lack of stones. In addition, the bishop plans to use his informants to inform them about the difficulties involved in the construction and to persuade the king to visit the construction site. This is to prove Philips' ineptitude and the church building is to be relocated to Shiring - and thus to Waleran's sphere of influence. By promising to work on the cathedral on Sundays, Philip succeeds in granting an indulgence and encouraging the population of the surrounding villages to cooperate on the day of the king's visit. This convinced the king of the progress of the construction; He is also impressed by the statue of St. Adolphus that Jack made and agrees to continue building it. Jack fell in love with Aliena the first time he met, and she is fascinated by his artistic talent. The two of them kiss, but the jealous Alfred bothers them.
After William Hamleigh reoccupies the quarry and the subprior Remigius has stolen the scroll granting Kingsbridge market rights and given it to Waleran, Philip and Jack travel to the king with Aliena's brother Richard to ask for support for the construction again. They meet the king in Lincoln , who is besieging Matilda, who is entrenched there in a castle. Since the king feels threatened by a red-haired man in his nightmares, he orders one of his lackeys to murder the red-haired Jack. Jack is then strangled by the henchman until he is unconscious. Shortly afterwards there is a battle between the king and Robert of Gloucester , who comes to the aid of his sister Matilda. Both Stephan and Robert are captured, but Lincoln is captured by Robert's forces. Bishop Waleran and the Hamleighs, who previously sided with the king, switch sides. Bishop Waleran tortured the captive Philip to force the admission that he had betrayed the former Count of Shiring to the king. Then the bishop gives orders to hang Philip. Meanwhile, Jack, believed to be dead, was thrown into a mass grave. The second part ends with an unexpected sign of life from Jack.
part 3
Philip is saved from the rope by his brother. Jack recovers from his agony. After a lost battle, King Stephen was captured by his rival Matilda, who henceforth rules over England and gives herself the title of Empress. The contentious circumstances surrounding the construction of the cathedral must therefore be renegotiated. Although Matilda confirms that the quarry will remain inaccessible for cathedral construction, Kingsbridge will again receive the same market rights as Shiring. As a condition, she asked Prior Philip to pay £ 100. After Philip and Jack return to Kingsbridge, the count's daughter, Aliena Philip, who is now a successful wool merchant, willingly lends the money. At the same time she asks Philip to hold a large wool market in Kingsbridge next year.
After an exchange of prisoners took place, Matilda is defeated, who fled headlong with her son and brother to France. The strengthened Stephan becomes king again, and Bishop Waleran also follows the new king.
Meanwhile, Tom Builder names Jack and Alfred as equal heirs. However, Alfred hates Jack and in a rage destroys the sculptures and statues of Jack, whereupon the two get into a physical altercation in which parts of the construction site are destroyed. At the request of Prior Philip, Jack was sent away from Kingsbridge, but after his mother intervened, he was allowed to return as a monk and right-hand man of the prior. However, he has to break off contact with Aliena.
Months later, the Kingsbridge Wool Market takes place. William raids the market and has the wool burned, Aliena is only barely saved from the flames by Alfred, but loses her wool in the flames. When Tom Builder gets in William's way, he is killed. After his funeral, Prior Philip names Alfred the new builder who, contrary to Tom's instructions, wants to roof the cathedral with a stone vault. Alfred now sees his chance to propose marriage to Aliena, especially since he can offer her money to support her brother. At the announcement of the imminent marriage, Jack bursts between the fiancée. He is then locked up to stay in the dungeon until after the wedding. But his mother knows a secret passage out of the cell and helps him to escape, with the request to escape with Aliena. Jack flees and secretly meets with Aliena. The two sleep together, but when Aliena tells him that she will marry Alfred in spite of everything, he leaves her disappointed and goes to France to look for his father's family.
The next day the wedding takes place, and Ellen shows up to curse the marriage with impotence and hatred. In fact, Alfred no longer gets an erection and Aliena manages to hide that she is pregnant by Jack. In the meantime, William has also chosen a bride: thirteen-year-old Elisabeth von Weymouth, whom he raped on their wedding night.
The construction of the cathedral continues under the direction of Alfred. At the inauguration of the church, at which William with his mother and wife as well as Waleran and King Stephan are present, the roof constructed by Alfred collapses. 79 people die. During the catastrophe, Aliena gives birth to a son who, because of his bright red hair, can clearly be assigned to Jack. Abused by Alfred, she sets out for France to find Jack and bring him back to Kingsbridge.
Part 4
After a long and arduous search, Aliena finds Jack in France. On the return trip to England, Jack finally met his father's family and is now brave. While both are making plans for a common future, the Kingsbridge project is in ruins. The new head of the monastery, Remigius, makes no efforts to continue the construction work. But when Jack finally returns with his small family, life comes back to the small town too. Jack plans to resume construction of the cathedral and to finish it off even more beautifully with the knowledge he has now acquired abroad. He also found a way to raise the money for it. A weeping Madonna, based on Aliena's image, attracts pilgrims and thus money. The Madonna's eyes are made of a stone that exudes water when it is cold, giving the impression that she is crying. Resentment rises at the Shiring court against the resumption of construction work: a targeted attack by William von Shiring is supposed to stop construction and kill Jack. But the young Elisabeth, William's wife, visits the Madonna with William's mother Regan Hamleigh and on this occasion “confesses” to Philip Waleran's and William's plans. Then Jack, Prior Philip and Richard, who has returned home for a short time, arrange the construction of a city wall. The wall withstands the attack, and William moves back to Shiring, humiliated and injured. There he takes out his suppressed anger on his wife and mother. In a rage, he strangles Regan Hamleigh and then throws her into the moat. Remigius is exposed as a traitor and then banished from the monastery. Meanwhile, construction work on the cathedral continues and ten years pass.
Richard has returned from the crusade and is now claiming the Shiring lands and the title of Count again. He only gets this if he conquers the castle - but he doesn't have the money for the necessary troops. Since he is in the favor of the king, William is stripped of the title. Waleran does not want to be satisfied with this result, as William is his only remaining puppet. He then appoints him sheriff and looks for a reason to have Jack arrested. Alfred, still awaiting the annulment of his marriage to Aliena, becomes his victim. He promises him the cancellation if Alfred provokes Jack in return until Alfred loses a few drops of blood in appearance. The naive victim does not know that the dagger that is given to him is poisoned. After he beats Aliena, Jack and Alfred fight, whereupon Alfred injures himself with the knife and tries to blame Jack. But immediately afterwards he dies from the poison. William arrests Jack. During the trial, the secret of Jack's father and ultimately the reason for the War of Succession is revealed. Jack's father, a juggler at the royal court, is the only survivor and witness of the fire on the ship of the heir to the throne William. He watched Lady Regan Hamleigh, Percy Hamleigh and Bishop Waleran murder the heir to the throne and his wife. After Jack's father tried to save the prince, he took his signet ring. Shortly afterwards, he was charged as a traitor by Bishop Waleran and burned. Jack is then released and William is hanged in his place. After everyone found out about the intrigues of the bishop, he too dies - after falling from the church roof. Jack and Aliena can finally get married and live together, and the church is nearly finished in the next fourteen years. At the end of the film, the cathedral is shown in its finished, but fictional, state today.
production
prehistory
Almost 20 years after the book was published, the Munich-based production company Tandem Communications secured the rights to the film in 2008. The fact that it took so long before a film was made was also due to the fact that the author Ken Follett was looking for partners who would make a true-to-novel film without the cuts and changes to the plot as in other novel adaptations. In addition to the German Tandem Communications , the Canadian company Muse Entertainment Enterprises was mainly involved in realizing the seven-hour multi-part. Both companies were supported by the production company Scott Free Productions , founded by the Emmy Prize winners and producers Ridley Scott and Tony Scott . The German ProSiebenSat.1 Group and ORF were also involved in the implementation from the start . These four production companies made the 400-minute film together. The screenplay was written by actor John Pielmeier , who can also be seen in a supporting role as monk Cuthbert.
The film's director , Sergio Mimica-Gezzan, previously worked as first assistant director at Steven Spielberg's side . Before filming began, Mimica-Gezzan, who won two directorial awards, and a few crew members prepared themselves with a crash course on the subject of the 12th century.
Filming
The principal photography for The Pillars of the Earth began in June 2009 and ended the following November. The multi-part series was mostly shot in Hungary , but some scenes were also shot in Austria . In addition to Vienna, the filming locations in Austria were Liechtenstein Castle and Kreuzenstein Castle in Lower Austria . Most of the work in Hungary was directed by the production company Mid Atlantic Films . In Ócsa , about 30 kilometers from Hungary's capital Budapest, the Kingsbridge market square was built as a real set on a 20,000 square meter field. The cathedral was also built there, but only up to a height of about seven meters. The rest of the visual effects experts added digitally later. The American director justified this decision with the fact that the production costs could be reduced and that the cathedral would have to be torn down again after filming was over. In addition, the virtual church allows him to take camera settings that would otherwise not be possible with a real building. For the coronation scene, which takes place in the original book in London, the director chose the Vienna Votive Church . Part of the filming took place in Salisbury Cathedral . The final shot of the film, which shows Kingsbridge Cathedral in the present, shows the body of Wells Cathedral and the top of Salisbury Cathedral.
Because it rained several times during the shooting, the ground was softened and the actors had to walk through deep mud just like in the real 12th century. One of the biggest challenges was shooting the battle scenes. Around 60 stuntmen were used and the camera went right through the middle of the fighting. The fact that the film was not shot in chronological order also caused some difficulties for the crew. Especially at the beginning, many scenes from the last parts of the film were shot that the actors only knew from the script. So that the film could be completed quickly, four camera teams were on duty at the same time. About 50 shots could be shot per day. That is almost 40 more takes than in a normal movie. Despite the tremendous amount of work involved in filming, the pillars of the earth were managed with just one director. Because of the extensive shoot, the crew consisted of up to 350 employees. The total cost of production amounted to 40 million US dollars (about € 30 million).
When writer Ken Follett visited the production on the set in August 2009, he was offered the opportunity to play in his own story. He agreed and got the guest appearance . When Jack is eating with his grandmother as well as relatives and friends of his father, he can be seen in the last part of the four-part in the thirteenth minute in a speaking role as a close friend of Jack's father for about 30 seconds. The character specially invented for Ken Follett for this film does not exist in the novel.

Differences to the novel
The film is not a 1: 1 conversion of the novel. In addition to omissions and additions, there are a number of deviations from the novel. An example is the figure Waleran, who lives on in the book as a broken and disempowered monk, but in the film dies when he falls from the church roof. Another difference is that Count Bartholomew dies in the dungeon in the book and not by beheading as in the film.
Due to the difficulty of converting more than 1000 pages of a novel into a cinema production of only 400 minutes of film, the novel, published in 1989, was not made into a film until 2008. This was also due to the fact that by then Ken Follett had not found any suitable comrades-in-arms who wanted and could realize the cinematic implementation according to his ideas and specifications. The changes made to the novel for dramaturgical reasons were all approved by Ken Follett, who temporarily attended the production and played himself. The result is a work of film authorized by him, which can be seen more independently and only based on the novel.

criticism
"[...] Lights out, pictures out. From the first scene on there is full medieval roar. [...] The endless book is broken down into sequences that lead a life of their own without the pressure of an overall narrative that forms everything. [...] The “pillars of the earth” stand for more than just new enthusiasm for the Middle Ages. The Follett four-part series shows new TV preferences: more space and more length so that television can tell its stories in detail. [...] "
"[...]" The Pillars of the Earth "does not reach the complexity of the original, but focuses more on melodramatic elements, which at times reminds a little of a soap opera. But with progress this problem fades into the background, also because the makers manage to keep the tension high and to portray the dark age appropriately darkly and not as bloodlessly as one is used to from other cinema or TV productions . "
“[…] As the story lines play out over several decades, it can be a little hard to keep track of who is on which side of the battle for the English throne and who we're supposed to be rooting for at any given moment . But over all, "The Pillars of the Earth" will go down painlessly for the fan of this sort of epic; while it's predictable and never exactly sweeping, it's certainly eventful, and the production values are above average. [...] ”
"[...] Since the storylines stretch over several decades, it can be a little difficult to remember who is on which side in the battle for the English throne and who to stand by at the moment. But by and large, a fan of such epics will "The Pillars of the Earth" go down like oil; while it is predictable and never really thrilling, it is certainly eventful and the show values are above average [...] "
“[...] What works very well in a trivial novel - at least one unexpected turn per chapter, the clear division into good and bad - leads to fatigue in eight hours of film. […] But the good ones are stronger after decades of building history in which they remain timelessly beautiful. By chance, they always hit something useful at the right moment. [...] "
“[…] Costruita sui pilastri classici della narrazione (con un buon uso del vecchio, caro montaggio parallelo), la serie ci restituisce un Medioevo sospeso tra realtà e fantasia, azione e mistero. [...] ”
"[...] The" Pillars of the Earth "is a classic tale (with a good use of the novel). The series gives us a medieval feeling between reality and fantasy, action and puzzles. [...] "
