![]() Tagline: Rule Your Destiny.
From producer Jerry Bruckheimer (“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “Black Hawk Down”), director Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) and writer David Franzoni (“Gladiator”) comes Touchstone Pictures' / Jerry Bruckheimer Films' “King Arthur,” a spectacular, epic tale of one man's destiny to become king.
Historians have thought for centuries that King Arthur was only a myth, but the legend was based on a real hero, torn between his private ambitions and his public sense of duty. A reluctant leader, Arthur (Clive Owen) wishes only to leave Britain and return to the peace and stability of Rome.
Before he can, one final mission leads him and his Knights of the Round Table - Lancelot, Galahad, Bors, Tristan, and Gawain - to the conclusion that when Rome is gone, Britain will need a leader to fill the vacuum - someone not only to defend against the current threat of invading Saxons, but to lead the isle into a new age.
