About The Lion in Winter 💬

At Christmas Court in 1183, behind the great stone walls of an English castle, the world's most powerful empire is in crisis. Three sons struggle to win their father's favor, as well as his crown. King Henry II (Peter O'Toole) and his queen, Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn), engage in a battle of royal wits that pits elder son Richard (Anthony Hopkins) against his brothers John (Nigel Terry) and Geoffrey (John Castle), while the cunning King Philip II of France (Timothy Dalton) takes advantage of the internal fracturing in his bid to destroy their kingdom.

In this battle of wits, everyone is out to gain and to lose more than just power and glory but also their very sanity and lives as well.
