Story Synopsis:
Based on a story by Rudyard Kipling and packed with spectacle, humor, excitement and bold twists of fate, The Man Who Would Be King is hailed as an epic like no other. Sean Connery and Michael Caine—chins out, shoulders squared with a sly wink—star as British sergeants Danny Dravot and Peachy Carnehan. The Empire was built by men like these two. Now they’re out to build their own empire by venturing into remote Kafiristan and persuading the high priests to hand over their riches because Dravot is a god.
