Synopsis
In 1961, 60-year-old taxi driver Kempton Bunton (Jim Broadbent) stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. He sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on condition that the government invested more in care for the elderly. What happened next became the stuff of legend.
THE DUKE is an uplifting true story about a good man who set out to change the world – and managed to save his marriage.
