Yıl 1183. Her modern-zaman politikacısı gibi, Britanya'nın Kralı 2. Henry (Peter O'Toole) de, karısını balolara götürmeyi ve onu halka teşhir etmeyi yalnızca zaman zaman faydalı bulur. Henry'nin uzak bir kalede sürgündeki kraliçesi Eleanor (Katharine Hepburn), Henry'ye ve üç oğluna, bir aile toplantısında katılmak için davet edilir. Bu şekilde Henry, İmparatorluk'un birliğini güçlendirmeyi ve güç dengelerinin Eleanor'a ya da üç oğlundan birine kaymasını engellemeyi ummaktadır.

Bunu yaparken de yalnızca kendi gücünü yeniden garantilemekle kalmayacak, ölümünden sonra bile bu gücün yaşamasını sağlayacaktır.
