Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.
Editor's Verdict
"While the movie had a 'Holiday Release,' the plot, setting, and themes are entirely focused on historical political conflict (The War of the Roses). There are no discernible Christmas elements impacting the narrative whatsoever."
