Henry V

Director Kenneth Branagh heads a powerful, all-star cast in Renaissance Film's trumphant, award-winning production of Shakespear's 'Henry V', a classic story of conflict, courage honour and heroism. On the battle-stained fields of France, English soldiers walk knee-deep in the bodies, blood and limbs of their fellow men. From the carnage and muddy confusion rises one man-their king.... Critically acclaimed at the box office, Kenneth Branagh is electrifying as Henry V, a king whose inspired leadership and full-blooded courage rouses his bewildred and bedraggeled men to arms against a French army five times greater than themselves. Heralded as the biggest film of the year, 'Henry V' is an epic explosion of bloody battles and powerful performances from the cream of British acting including Brian Blessed, Judi Dench, Ian Holm, Derek Jacobi and Emma Thompson.
