Directed by the acclaimed Antoine Fuqua, the film follows the young Arthur (Clive Owen) as he and his elite band of knights are tasked with one final mission for the decaying Roman Empire - a dangerous journey across the treacherous landscapes of Dark Ages Britain. As Arthur and his warriors battle both the invading Saxon hordes and their own mounting doubts, the film delves into the complex political and social upheaval of the era, while also exploring the inner turmoil and burgeoning heroism that will ultimately transform Arthur into the legendary king. Fuqua's gritty, visceral direction combined with a stellar ensemble cast make "King Arthur" a thrilling and thought-provoking take on this timeless myth.
