Becket is a 1964 historical drama film directed by Peter Glenville, based on the play by Jean Anouilh. The film stars Richard Burton as Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Peter O’Toole as King Henry II of England.
The film begins with the coronation of Henry II as King of England. Henry is a strong-willed, ambitious ruler who is determined to bring England under his control. He appoints his friend Thomas Becket as Lord Chancellor of England, believing that Becket’s loyalty will ensure his success.

He eventually returns to England and is appointed Archbishop of Canterbury, a position he holds with great dignity and courage. Despite Henry’s attempts to control him, Becket continues to stand up for his beliefs and the teachings of the church.
