Excalibur

The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table receives it's most impressive screen treatment in Excalibur, from visionary director John Boorman (DELIVERANCE, HOPE AND GLORY). All the elements of Sir Thomas Malorys classic Le Morte Darthur are here: Arthur (Nigel Terry) removing the sword Excalibur from the stone; the Round Tables noble birth and tragic decline; the heroic attempts to recover the Holy Grail; and the shifting balance of power between wily wizard Merlin (Nicol Williamson) and evil sorceress Morgana (Helen Mirren).
