In There Be Dragons Scottish actor Dougray Scott plays a Spanish-born journalist named Robert Torres who's writing a book about the real life priest Saint Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei.
"There Be Dragons," is an epic period piece set during the Spanish Civil War that tells part of Escriva's back story. But instead of focusing on the would-be saint, the film casts him in a supporting role.
