Arthur the King (2024)
Arthur the King tells the story of the unbreakable bond forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog, Arthur, who followed the team over 700 km on a gruelling 10-day endurance race.
Based on the book Arthur – The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home by real-life adventure racer Mikael Lindnord, the film is directed by BAFTA winner Simon Cellan Jones (Years and Years, Our Friends in the North).
Look out for Bear Grylls, People’s Choice winner Simu Liu (Barbie, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Emmy nominee Nathalie Emmanuel (Fast X, Missandei in Game of Thrones), and Juliet Rylance (Della Street in Perry Mason).
In their 4/5-star review, Common Sense Media recommends Arthur the King for ages 13+, saying, “There’s nothing better than a good story about a great dog, and Arthur’s tale warms the soul.”
