With his country on the brink of war and in desperate need of a leader, his wife, Elizabeth (Helena Bonham Carter), arranges for her husband to see an eccentric speech therapist, Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Winner of 4 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director (Tom Hooper), Best Original Screenplay and Best Actor (Colin Firth), The King's Speech is an inspirational tale of one man's quest to find his voice, inspire his people, and rally the world."--Container.
