Profile of All the King's Men

All the King's Men can be described as emotional, uplifting, and bittersweet. The plot revolves around basic training, leadership, and anti-war themes. The main genres are drama, war, and historical. In approach, All the King's Men is serious and realistic. The storytelling is slow paced. It is set, at least in part, in a battlezone. All the King's Men takes place during World War 1. It is originally a true story and based on a book.

Summary of All the King's Men

The Royal British Army's Sandringham Company, led by Captain Frank Beck (Jason), was a unit comprised entirely of servants, grooms and gardeners from King George V's Norfolk Estate. On August 12, 1915, the company marched into battle against the Turkish forces at Gallipoli and vanished into thin air, never to be heard from again. Through this drama, the details of the Sandringham's fateful, misconceived campaign are brought to life, reconstructing the true story of a group of gentile, amateur soldiers who valiantly marched to their doom.
