On the 9th of April 1940, German troops invade Oslo. The king of Norway is faced with a choice that will change his nation forever. An epic film about the real events that turned a brave man into the people’s king.

Norway’s 2017 entry to the Oscars® is a thrilling WWII adventure in backroom gamesmanship from director Erik Poppe (Utoya – July 22). Set over three days in 1940, The King’s Choice mines drama and complexity from the less-than-straightforward historical records of the country’s wartime neutrality.
