Becket
An age of rampant lusts, abandon, runaway passions. An age brought bristling to life by two of the most exciting stars of our time!
Directed by Peter Glenville
Produced by Paramount Pictures, Keep Films
A grand historical drama about the tragic dissolution of a powerful friendship, centered on competing loyalties between secular and spiritual authority.
Thomas Becket, Henry II's longtime advisor, finds his friendship with the debauched king corroding when he is unwillingly appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury in an attempt to gain absolute loyalty from the Church.
