Balian is portrayed as a young man in the Kingdom of Heaven, but the real Balian was already a mature man by this time period. The movie does correctly show that in the 1180s, Balian was a major figure in the Kingdom of Jerusalem's politics.
The film is a heavily fictionalised portrayal of the events leading to the Third Crusade, focusing mainly on Balian of Ibelin who fights to defend the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem from the Ayyubid Sultan Saladin.
