Adapted from Shakespeare's "Henriad" plays (Henry V, Henry IV Part I, and Henry IV Part II) but written in a more modern but still formal style, THE KING follows Hal, the Prince of Wales (Timothée Chalamet), who has disavowed his royal heritage, choosing to spend his days reveling and partying, Tudor style. But when his father dies shortly after his brother's death, Hal is unexpectedly crowned King Henry V. He intends to create a new day for England, one that will thrive in peace and find unity. But he must first contend with the late king's friends and foes.
