For astrologers, the year 1588 stood under a bad sign. They predicted chaos and conflict around the world. And this prophesy was to become reality as the Spanish armada approached the English coast. 130 ships and 30,000 soldiers were preparing to invade the British Isles. The world's largest fleet against a handful of English ships captained by a few daring pirates. The battle raged for five days and nights until the Spanish succumbed. A new kind of canon played a significant role in their defeat. At the time, the city of Innsbruck in Austria was Europe's gun-making center and the Löffler family were the Middle Ages version of the Krupps. The canons poured in the Löffler foundries were far superior to any others in range, power and precision. The method for forging these guns was a closely held secret. In 1580, a man named Adam Dreyling fled to England. He had learned the art of making canons from his uncle, Hans Christoph Löffler, and now held the Habsburg's greatest state secret in his hands. Spies smuggled him to Venice and then to England, where his expertise was urgently needed. England's queen knew that war with Spain was unavoidable. For decades the conflict had been simmering between the protestant ruler and catholic Europe. Philip of Spain was bent on toppling her, whatever the cost. English admirals thought up a new strategy to confront the overpowering Spaniards. Mathew Baker, a mathematician and shipbuilder, listens to the tales of successful pirates like Drake and Frobisher and builds small, fast and maneuverable ships equipped with long-range, precision canons to keep the Spaniards at bay. The guns made by Adam Dreyling could be the key. The centerpiece of this film is a volatile mixture of world history on a grand scale and personal drama. The inventiveness and artistry of the foundry man from Tyrol is a small building block for England en route to becoming a globe-spanning empire. Film-maker Axel Engstfeld follows the gun-making trail. At a foundry in Innsbruck he has the old 16th century canon cast in the old-fashioned method. The company, Gebrüder Grassmayr, is the world's leading foundry for casting bells. The family business is in its 14th generation, but hasn't cast any canons since the Thirty Years War. What made Dreyling's canons so superior? An experiment for the film and for the foundry.
