Aging King George III of England is exhibiting signs of madness, a problem little understood in 1788. As the monarch alternates between bouts of confusion and near-violent outbursts of temper, his hapless doctors attempt the ineffectual cures of the day. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger attempt to prevent the king's political enemies, led by the Prince of Wales, from usurping the throne.

"A must see for Hamilton fans. “Chop, Chop! The King! The King!"

"6/10. Dreadful. Overacted. Very difficult to get through. Oddly, I celebrated it's ending rather than any other part of the film because I was thankful it was finally over. 90s production is already quite dated."

"It's kind of 'the other side of the mirror' of the American Revolution. "
