Unavailable on any format for 20 years, Becket makes its worldwide DVD premiere following extensive restoration aided by Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation.
Becket is one of the great historical epics and features one of cinema's most legendary pairings
Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.
The story tells of the tempestuous friendship between King Henry. The King appoints his trusted companion to the esteemed position of Archbishop of Canterbury, believing his loyalty will give him control over the church. However Becket takes his new duties seriously and his devotion to God soon brings him into direct conflict with the State and his lifelong friend.
