Becket

King Henry II believes he knows Thomas Becket better than anyone. They drink together, scheme together, and share the kind of friendship that makes loyalty seem permanent. So when Henry appoints Becket Archbishop of Canterbury, he expects to have a trusted ally inside the Church. Instead, Becket discovers a loyalty greater than the one he owes his king—and the friendship between two powerful men becomes a battle over faith, authority, and honor. Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole go head-to-head in a massive medieval drama where friendship eventually becomes war.
