Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUnlike many of the previous Arthurian films that drew to greater or lesser extent from Sir Thomas Malory's (1415-1471) "Le Morte d'Arthur," this film clearly drew from the romances written by French poet Chrétien de Troyes (1130-1191), who actually invented the character of Lancelot.
- GoofsWhen Prince Malagant lays his sword on the round table, he doesn't pick it up when he leaves. That was intentional, a sign of his resignation.
- Quotes
King Arthur: May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.

Not Even Connery Can Save It
First Knight (1995)
Plot In A Paragraph: Lancelot (Richard Gere) falls in love with Guinevere (Julia Ormand) , who is due to be married to King Arthur (Connery). Meanwhile, a violent warlord tries to seize power from Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.
YAWN!! This movie is the worst movie Connery has made since Sword & The Valiant. Yes I'm counting Highlander 2 in that. It is produced with a decent budget but a lot will have gone on its two main stars who are awfully miscast. As is the heroine. Both Connery and Gere are too old for the roles and Ormand is too young.
Connery should make a brilliant King Arthur, all noble and dignified!! But he over acts at times and it just doesn't work, neither does Gere who has zero charisma and is totally unconvincing as Lancelot. It should be an interesting love triangle, but you are never really invested in it, and I just didn't care.
First Knight grossed $37 million at the domestic box office to end 1995 as the 46th highest grossing movie of the year. One place better and one million dollars more than Just Cause. But considering this had a budget of $55 million compared to the $25 million of Just Cause. It's easier to see whIch one was considered a disappointment.
