Based on a true story, the film chronicles the tale of archeologist and excavator Basil Brown - played by Ipswich-born actor Ralph Fiennes - and the 1939 discovery of the remains of a 7th century Saxon burial ship on land near Woodbridge.
In the centre of the ship, which had been used as a grave, excavators found a huge cache of historical treasures - including swords, shields, bowls and cutlery.
