In the archaeological find of a century, the remains of King Richard III—presumed scattered over 500 years ago—were discovered under a Leicester parking lot in 2012. The search was spearheaded by amateur historian Philippa Langley, whose passion and unrelenting research were met with skepticism by the academic establishment.
Directed by two-time Academy Award nominee Stephen Frears (The Queen, Philomena) and starring two-time Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, Happy-Go-Lucky) as Langley, The Lost King is the inspiring true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and took on Britain’s most eminent historians, forcing them to rethink the legacy of one of the most controversial rulers in English history.
