Embark on the physical and emotional journey based on the true story of adventure racer Mikael Lindnord and Arthur, the dog that changed Lindnord’s life. “Arthur the King” stars Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (2006, Best Supporting Actor, “The Departed”), Simu Liu (“Barbie”), Juliet Rylance (“A Dog’s Purpose”), Ali Suliman (“Lone Survivor”), Nathalie Emmanuel (“Game of Thrones”), and Paul Guilfoyle (“CSI: Vegas”).
In “Arthur the King,” an unbreakable bond is forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur over the course of a grueling 10-day, 435-mile racecourse. An “inspiring story for the whole family” (Rachel Wagner, Rachel’s Reviews), and based on true events, “Arthur the King” follows Light, desperate for one last chance to win, as he convinces a sponsor to back him and a team of athletes for the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic. Pushing the team to the outer limits of endurance and sacrifice, Arthur redefines what victory, loyalty, and friendship truly mean.
