A Man for All Seasons

The story of Sir Thomas More, who stood up to King Henry VIII when the King rejected the Roman Catholic Church to obtain a divorce and remarry.

Details

A Man for All Seasons (1966) tells the remarkable true story of Sir Thomas More, a noble and principled man who fearlessly stood up to King Henry VIII during a critical period in English history. As the King seeks to divorce his wife and marry another, More staunchly defends the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church, which the King has rejected. Despite intense pressure from those around him, including his close friend and advisor Thomas Cromwell, More remains steadfast in his beliefs.

This powerful historical drama not only explores the clash between More's unwavering morals and the King's desire for power, but also delves into the complexities of friendships and betrayals. More's loyalty to his conscience and the Church leads him to a dangerous path, ultimately bringing him face to face with the full force of the King's wrath.

Directed by the renowned filmmaker Fred Zinnemann and featuring an exceptional performance by Paul Scofield as Sir Thomas More, the film garnered critical acclaim upon its release. A Man for All Seasons went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor, cementing its place as a cinematic masterpiece that examines the timeless themes of integrity and the courage to stand up for one's beliefs.
