Academy Award® winner* Mel Gibson's richest and most regal screen role to date is the title role in Franco Zeffirelli's dynamic version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Gibson plays the prince of medieval Denmark, sensing a dark conspiracy behind his royal father's death. Ensnared in this unraveling treachery is one of the most powerful casts ever in a Bard-based film: Glenn Close as Hamlet's mother Gertrude, Alan Bates as the usurper Claudius, Paul Scofield as the ghost of Hamlet's father, Ian Holm as meddling advisor Polonius and Helena Bonham-Carter as the ill-fated Ophelia. Vivid and virile, this is "a compelling Hamlet for today" (Caryn James, The New York Times).
*1995: Best Director and as Producer with Bruce Davey and Alan Ladd Jr. of the Best Picture Braveheart.
