The Kid Who Would Be King

“An army to fight. A demon to slay. A world to save. No pressure.”

Alex Elliot (Louis Ashbourne Serkis), a schoolboy in modern Britain, pulls a sword from a stone at a building site and finds himself holding Excalibur. A wizard named Merlin turns up in his classroom, and Alex has to gather his friends, and a couple of boys who have been tormenting him, into a band of knights against the enchantress Morgana. Joe Cornish sets the old legend in ordinary school corridors and council estates.
