Review Also known as

As the story opens, King Henry II, who ruled England from 1154 to 1189 has entered Canterbury Cathedral to do penance at the tomb of his former friend, Thomas Becket. Bare to the waist, the king kneels to receive a flogging from Saxon monks. He begins to reminisce, recalling at first the carefree, promiscuous adventures with Becket, then his favorite drinking and wenching companion. A violently emotional drama that probes the changing relationship between two young men - between two close friends bound together by similar pride of flesh and spirit who become deadly enemies as they pursue their separate destinies . . . that of king . . . and saint. - IMDb

Генрих II окружен завистниками и интриганами. Единственный человек, которому правитель Англии всецело доверяет, — Томас Бекет. Он — слуга и наставник, военный советник и соучастник амурных похождений короля. Чтобы подчинить себе могучего противника — католическую церковь, — Генрих добивается избрания Бекета архиепископом Кентерберийским. Но веселый гуляка, плюющий на законы, неожиданно превращается в жесткого и целеустремленного политика, жаждущего укрепить авторитет церкви. Бывшие друзья превращаются в злейших врагов, и между ними разгорается тотальная война…
