The Prisoner of Zenda
The most thrilling swordfight ever filmed...
Directed by John Cromwell
Produced by Selznick International Pictures
A swashbuckling romantic adventure built on mistaken identity and noble sacrifice, balancing courtly intrigue with genuine affection and sword-fighting spectacle.
A kingdom's ascending heir, marked for assassination, switches identities with a lookalike, who takes his place at the coronation. When the real king is kidnapped, his followers try to find him, while the stand-in falls in love with the king's intended bride, the beautiful Princess Flavia.
