Director: John Huston

Writers: John Huston; Gladys Hill

From short story: The Man who Would be King by Rudyard Kipling

Music Composed and Conducted by: Maurice Jarre

Producer: John Foreman

Keywords: Action/Adventure, Afghanistan

Sean Connery and Michael Caine are Daniel Dravot and Peachy Carnehan, British sergeants with a scheme to become kings of Kafiristan, on the present-day Afghan-Pakistan border, and loot its wealth. But in the process Daniel is seen as near-godlike by the villagers, perhaps even a descendant of Alexander the Great. This power goes to his head, much to the great concern of his co-conspirator. Adaptation of Kipling's short story is better than the story itself. Received 4 Oscar nominations including Best Screenplay.
