Synopsis:
After the death of his father King George V (Michael Gambon) and the scandalous abdication of King Edward VIII (Guy Pearce), Bertie (Colin Firth) who has suffered from a debilitating speech impediment all his life, is suddenly crowned King George VI of England. With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), the future Queen Mother, arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). After a rough start, the two delve into an unorthodox course of treatment and eventually form an unbreakable bond. With the support of Logue, his family, his government and Winston Churchill (Timothy Spall), the King will overcome his stammer and deliver a radio-address that inspires his people and unites them in battle. Based on the true story of King George VI, THE KING’S SPEECH follows the Royal Monarch’s quest to find his voice.
The multi-award-winning cast includes Helena Bonham Carter (ALICE IN WONDERLAND) as Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Guy Pearce (THE HURT LOCKER), Derek Jacobi (THE GOLDEN COMPASS), Timothy Spall (THE DAMNED UNITED) and Michael Gambon (HARRY POTTER).
From The Weinstein Company and director Tom Hooper, (THE DAMNED UNITED and HBO’s miniseries “John Adams” and “Elizabeth,”) with a screenplay by David Seidler (TUCKER: THE MAN AND HIS DREAM) and edited by Tariq Anwar (REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, AMERICAN BEAUTY), THE KING’S SPEECH will be in theaters on November 26, 2010.
THE KING’S SPEECH is rated R for some language.
