In medieval England, King Henry IV seeks to solidify his power after the death of King Richard II. However, his son Prince Hal, who is next in line for the throne, is more interested in sin and debauchery than in politics or chivalry. Amidst the turmoil, Prince Hal befriends a fallen nobleman, Sir John Falstaff, who teaches him valuable lessons about war and the true cost of glory. As rebellion looms, Prince Hal must decide whether to reclaim his father's respect and save England from civil war.
