Classic struggle between Church and Monarchy. Thomas Becket and King Henry Plantagenet engage in one of the most famous power struggles in English history. When Becket first becomes chancellor and later Archbishop of Canterbury, a rift grows between Henry II and his old friend. Some eager drunken knights trying to please the disgruntled monarch assassinate the cleric in the cathedral.

England, 1162: Heinrich II., König von England, ernennt nach dem Tod des Erzbischofs von Canterbury an Stelle eines romtreuen Kirchenmannes seinen langjährigen Freund Thomas Becket zum neuen Bischof. Doch die Freundschaft der beiden nun gleich mächtigen Männer leidet bald unter Beckets neuem Amt, da er zum Unwillen Heinrichs seine eigene Auffassungen von den Vorrechten der Kirche hat und für diese bedingungslos einsteht. Es kommt zum Bruch zwischen den beiden und die Freundschaft endet in erbitterter Feindschaft ...
