Becket

"An age of rampant lusts, abandon, runaway passions. An age brought bristling to life by two of the most exciting stars of our time!"

Thomas Becket, Henry II's longtime advisor, finds his friendship with the debauched king corroding when he is unwillingly appointed as Archbishop of Canterbury in an attempt to gain absolute loyalty from the Church.
