Plot Summary:The story takes place in 16th century England. But men like Sir Thomas More, who love life yet have the moral fiber to lay down their lives for their principles, are found in every century. Concentrating on the last seven years of English chancellors life, the struggle between More and his King, Henry VIII, hinges on Henrys determination to break with Rome so he can divorce his current wife and wed again, and good Catholic Mores inability to go along with such heresy. More resigns as chancellor, hoping to be able to live out his life as a private citizen. But Henry will settle for nothing less than that the much respected More give public approval to his headstrong course.
