Certificate: PG
Genre: Adventure
Awards: None

The Man Who Would Be King is about two Englishmen named Daniel Dravot (Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Caine) who were officers in the British empire but are now getting into trouble with the law. So the two men decide to go to Kafiristan to become kings and conquer the country. The only man who knows about it is  Rudyard Kipling (Plummer) who is based on the writer of the novel.


The Man Who Would Be King Was a film that I would recommend to anyone who liked Lawrence of Arabia or Zulu. The characters are well made acted and the story is good.
