King David

Adventure, Drama, History, War · 1985PG-13

King David, starring Richard Gere, follows the real-life story of the lowly shepherd boy whose shrewdness and bravery helped him ascend to the throne of ancient Israel. But this film is much more than just another Biblical epic. Richard Gere and a fine supporting cast present a fresh new look at the people who actually lived the events that have become legend-from David's battle with Goliath to his self-destructive yearning for Bathsheba.
