Henry IV usurps the English throne, sets in motion the factious War of the Roses and now faces a rebellion led by Northumberland scion Hotspur. Henry's heir, Prince Hal, is a ne'er-do-well carouser who drinks and causes mischief with his low-class friends, especially his rotund father figure, John Falstaff. To redeem his title, Hal may have to choose between allegiance to his real father and loyalty to his friend.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Of all the movies Welles made, it may offer the most clues to his imposing pachyderm soul.
– Stephanie Zacharek,
Village Voice,
13 Jan 2015
fresh:
It takes large latent talent to tell the audience that you know that what you're doing isn't worth doing and still do it better than anyone else in the movie.
– Pauline Kael,
The New Republic,
30 Aug 2012
fresh:
A personal viewpoint, it mixes the grotesque, bawdy, comic and heroic, and does have a melancholy under its carousing and battles.

Here is a film to treasure.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

rotten:
Evidently Mr. Welles's reading of Falstaff ranges between a farcical concept of him and a mawkish, sentimental attitude.
