In Europe, the film was acquired by Aqua Piena for Turkey, Hollywood Entertainment for Greece/Cyprus, Mediaset España for Spain, Signature for the UK, Wild Bunch for Germany and Artfilm for C.I.S.

Last Knights is a penetrating action film about 47 warriors who hatch a plan to obliterate the corrupt empire after their master is unfairly condemned to death by a dubious underling of the Emperor.
