Dir: John Boorman | UK/US | 141 mins | Cert. 15

From John Boorman, the director of Point Blank, Deliverance and Zardoz comes the definitive cinematic telling of the life and enduring legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

With an all-star cast that includes Helen Mirren, Gabriel Byrne, Cherie Lunghi, Nicol Williamson, Patrick Stewart, Ciarán Hinds and Liam Neeson, the film is famed for its stunning Irish locations and fantastical imagery as Boorman puts every aspect of the Arthurian legend on screen including the golden age of Camelot, the quest for the Holy Grail and of course, the wizard, Merlin.

For this special screening, we’ll be screening Arrow’s new 4K restoration which means the film will sound and look more spectacular than ever before!

We’ll also be joined by John Boorman’s son, Charley Boorman, who plays young Mordred in the film.

The film will also be preceded by a special presentation from world-famous armourer Terry English who made the film’s stunning costumes and swords and has created armour for many classic film productions including Aliens, First Knight, Batman and Robin and Gladiator and leading actors such as Sean Connery, Timothy Dalton, Helen Mirren, Richard Gere, Patrick Stewart and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
