To Kill a King

Mike Barker directs this costume drama set in 1645, just as England is coming out the other side of a civil war. The New Model Army has defeated the Royalist forces and King Charles I (Rupert Everett) is now imprisoned. General Thomas Fairfax (Dougray Scott) celebrates with his deputy Oliver Cromwell (Tim Roth) but they disagree on how to handle the king. However, it is the more powerful of the two, Cromwell, who manages to take charge and in order to introduce his new parliamentary ideas he must put the king on trial and eventually execute him.
