Dame Helen Mirren (/ˈmɪrən/; born Ilyena Lydia Vasilievna Mironov; July 26, 1945) is an English actor. The recipient of numerous accolades, she is the only person to achieve the Triple Crown of Acting in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Excelling on stage with the National Youth Theatre, Mirren's performance as Cleopatra in Antony and Cleopatra in 1965 saw her invited to join the Royal Shakespeare Company before she made her West End stage debut in 1975.

Playing Queen Elizabeth I in the television series Elizabeth I (2005), and Queen Elizabeth II in the film The Queen (2006), she is the only actor to have portrayed both the regnant Elizabeths on screen.

After her breakthrough film role in The Long Good Friday (1980), other notable film roles included Cal (1984), for which she won the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress, 2010 (1984), The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989), Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999), Calendar Girls (2003), Hitchcock (2012), The Hundred-Foot Journey (2014), Woman in Gold (2015), Trumbo (2015), and The Leisure Seeker (2017).

In the Queen's 2003 Birthday Honours, Mirren was appointed a Dame (DBE) for services to drama, with investiture taking place at Buckingham Palace.

Story

Excalibur (1981) begins with the birth of King Arthur Pendragon following Merlin's prophecy that he would become king. As a young boy, Arthur pulls the sword Excalibur from the stone, fulfilling the prophecy and proving his worthiness to rule. The film chronicles Arthur's rise to power, his battles against rebellious nobles, and the formation of the Knights of the Round Table.

The knights embark on a quest for the Holy Grail, but their journey is fraught with danger and temptation. Lancelot, one of Arthur's closest friends, becomes involved in an adulterous relationship with Guenevere, Arthur's queen, leading to strife within the kingdom. Ultimately, the betrayal leads to civil war among the knights, culminating in a tragic battle at Camelot where many of the Round Table are killed.

Summary

Excalibur is a surreal adaptation of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Le Morte d'Arthur', directed by John Boorman in 1981. The film chronicles key events from Arthurian legend, including Arthur's conception and rise to power, the search for the Holy Grail by his Knights of the Round Table, and his eventual death.

While sources are limited and do not provide a general summary beyond the plot points mentioned, Excalibur is notable for its fantastical storytelling and atmospheric visuals. It explores themes of love, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of power, as depicted through the rise and fall of King Arthur's kingdom.
