Seize Them! is directed by Curtis Vowell. The film is set in the Dark Ages of Britain and follows self-absorbed Queen Dagan (Aimee Lou Wood) as master of her lands. However, her crown is quickly toppled by a revolution led by Humble Joan (Nicola Coughlan), forcing the Queen into the life of a fugitive. With a hefty bounty on her head, the Queen must begin a dangerous journey into taking back her throne.
