THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING (1975) [ 7.8/10 ]

• WATCH

Two former British soldiers in 1880s India decide to set themselves up as Kings in Kafiristan, in modern-day Afghanistan, a land where no white man has set foot since Alexander the Great.
This adaptation of the famous short story by Rudyard Kipling tells the story of Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnahan, two ex-soldiers in India when it was under British rule.
They decide that the country is too small for them, so they head off to Kafiristan in order to become Kings in their own right.
Kipling is seen as a character that was there at the beginning, and at the end of this glorious tale.
