Below you will find a temporary review for this film. The real (better, more complete) review will be online very soon.

Daniel Dravot (Sean Connery) and Peachy Carnehan (Michael Caine) decide to go from India to the country of Kafiristan to be kings. They succeed, sort of. Dravot gets an arrow in his body but he doesn't even bleed (of coarse the arrow hit something under his clothes). Because of that they think he is a God and they treat him that way.

'The Man Who Would Be King' is one of the best adventure movies out there. The chemistry between Connerey and Caine is great. The movie is loaded with funny moments between them. John Huston is a great director and again he shows that. Another great thing about this movie is the great cinematography which shows us the beautiful scenery. A great adventure in a great movie.
