King Lear (played by Anthony Hopkins) is aging and decides to divide his vast kingdom among his three daughters: Cordelia (Florence Pugh), Goneril (Emma Thompson), and Regan (Emily Watson). He asks each daughter to express her love for him, and Goneril and Regan use flattery to win his approval, while the youngest, Cordelia, speaks simply and honestly, leading to her cruel disownment. Cordelia, having lost her home, becomes the Queen of France, while her elder sisters, who have gained their father's vast lands, cast Lear out. It isn't until Lear finds himself wandering the wilderness with nowhere to go that he realizes the monumental error he has made; he blames his own ignorance and mourns Cordelia's fate. Upon learning of Lear's situation, Cordelia organizes an army to reclaim her homeland, but unfortunately, the army suffers a devastating defeat, and Cordelia is captured. In the end, Cordelia is executed, and the aged Lear, in his sorrow, follows her in death.
