Starring Alex Kingston, Steven Waddington and Emily Blunt, in her film debut, the film is a biopic of the queen of the Iceni tribe, Boudica. Boudica, the Warrior Queen of Britain, leads her tribe into rebellion against the Roman Empire and the mad Emperor of Rome Nero. The film used locations in the United Kingdom and Romania.

Boudica's husband, Prasutagus, was the king of the Iceni, a people who inhabited roughly what is now Norfolk.

The statue portrays Boudica (commonly written as ""Boadicea"" in the Victorian era), Queen of the Iceni tribe of Britons, accompanied by her two daughters, mounted on a scythed chariot drawn by two rearing horses. The chariot is based on Roman models, not native British or Iceni models, and has a scythe blade attached to each wheel. She stands upright, in a flowing gown, with a spear in her right hand and her left hand raised. Her daughters with bared breasts crouch in the chariot, one to either side of their mother."

The play is a dramatisation of the story of Boudica, the British Celtic queen who led a revolt against the Romans in 60–61 AD. Critics, however, have classified ""Bonduca"" as a ""historical romance,"" rather than a history play comparable to those written by Shakespeare; historical accuracy was not Fletcher's primary concern.
