The King's Choice

Based on extraordinary true events, Erik Poppe’s superbly-realised box office hit is an absorbing story of morality and honour set during a pivotal moment in World War II, when an unprepared Norway was invaded by German forces and their monarch presented with a terrible ultimatum.

With spectacular production design on a scale that rivals the seminal war dramas of Spielberg and Boorman, THE KING’S CHOICE is a commanding, full-blooded epic. Brilliantly depicting the machinations, principles and personal fallout of conflict, it’s a gripping and resonant account of history at a turning point, told from a previously undepicted perspective.

Critic Reviews:

• " … the film turns out to be a beautifully photographed and thoughtful nail-biter, suspenseful in a way that illuminates what must have been Norway's most terrifying moments. " – Peg Aloi

• " It's handsomely mounted, extremely well-acted and tells a little-known story of bravery on the part of one man daringly taking on the might of the Third Reich. " – Al Alexander

• " Characters are dimensional and the stakes are high, giving “The King's Choice” plenty to examine as it visits an obscure corner of WWII history. " – Brian Orndorf
