The most anticipated film of 2004, "King Arthur", will be released in the United States on July 7, 2004 (in Russia, the premiere is scheduled for mid-August). Already, critics are predicting huge box office grosses for this large-scale historical drama by dynamic action movie star and new Hollywood director Antoine Fuqua, best known for his films Tears of the Sun, Training Day, Replacement Killers, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer - Bad Boys 2, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pearl Harbor and screenwriter David Franzoni - Gladiator. Also, film critics break their spears in a dispute whether this picture will outstrip "Troy"?

"King Arthur" is a film about a legendary historical figure. It pays great attention to historical facts and political events that took place during the reign of King Arthur. But the picture promises to combine both real historical events that took place in the province of Britain immediately after the collapse of the Great Roman Empire, and myths about the exploits of the knights of King Arthur.

The plot of the film is as follows: after the fall of the Roman Empire, anarchy reigns in the British Isles. Knights challenge each other for the right to own lands. Among them is one who manages to rally everyone around him with the idea of a Round Table, at which the color of chivalry amicably solves its problems. This is King Arthur.

The film stars popular actors: Clive Owen, Stephen Dillane, Keira Knightley, Hugh Dancy, and others.

From the start, the project was called "King Arthur". At the beginning of 2003, it was changed to "Knights of the Round Table", but in March they returned to the previous version.
