Summary

Released in 1991, By the Sword is an adventure, drama and sport film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 23 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 24 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 26 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
