The timeless tale of King Arthur and the legend of Camelot are retold in this passionate period drama. Arthur is reluctant to hand the crown to Lancelot, and Guinevere is torn between her loyalty to her husband and her growing love for his rival. But Lancelot must balance his loyalty to the throne with the rewards of true love.
Acting
Connery's Arthur carries gravitas the script doesn't deserve.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jerry Zucker directed this after 'Ghost' and 'Airplane!'—yes, really. He wanted to prove he could do serious drama.
This flopped against 'Braveheart' and 'Rob Roy' in 1995's crowded medieval summer, helping kill the Arthurian blockbuster trend for two decades.
