“Forged by a god. Foretold by a wizard. Found by a king.”

Excalibur transmutes the mythic saga of King Arthur into a lush, arcane tapestry of ambition and fallibility. Directed by John Boorman, this 1981 epic unfolds the rise of Arthur from humble origins to the enigmatic ruler of Camelot, where he assembles his Knights of the Round Table. Yet, Arthur's sovereignty is imperiled by the enigmatic sorcery of Merlin and the vengeful designs of Morgan le Fay, as he grapples with the elusive Holy Grail and the fickle nature of divine favor.
