Guy Ritchie's iconoclastic take on the classic Excalibur myth traces Arthur's journey from the streets to the throne. When the child Arthur's father is murdered, Arthur's uncle Vortigern seizes the crown. Robbed of his birthright and with no idea who he truly is, Arthur comes up the hard way. But once he pulls the sword from the stone, his life is turned upside down and he is forced to acknowledge his true legacy...whether he likes it or not.
