Courage. Loyalty. Power.

Pressed by powerful nobles and church leaders to reclaim England's sovereignty over France, the young, rebellious King Henry V of England raises an army and carves his way to Agincourt, where his troops, depleted and exhausted, must face the enemy head-on. But with dissension in the ranks, Henry will have to prove himself a strong and legitimate ruler if he's to inspire his men to lay down their lives for their country, and their king. Shakespeare's thrilling history play ponders the true cost of winning in the epic game of thrones.
