As the second son of George V (Michael Gambon), Prince Bertie (Colin Firth) is not ex-expected to ascend to the throne, but when his brother Edward (Guy Pearce) choses to abdicate to marry Wallis Simpson (Eve Best), Bertie is the rightful successor and in 1936 is crowned King George VI. Thrust into the international spotlight, he engages irreverent Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) to help him find a voice with which to lead the nation.
