Kenneth Branagh's star-studded version of Shakespeare's play has a
more intimate and equivocal approach to war than Laurence Olivier's
1944 classic. The young King (Branagh), his days of carousing
behind him, is advised of his legal claim to the throne of France.
He decides to invade with his small and somewhat rag-tag army,
taking on the massed might of the King of France's (Paul Scofield)
forces.
