As Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives "one of the greatest
performances of modern movie history" (Wall Street Journal), one that the
Associated Press calls "nothing short of Oscar® worthy."
This is Amin’s
incredible story as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a
young Scotsman who becomes the volatile leader’s personal physician, due in part
to Amin’s unexpected passion for Scottish culture - Amin even proclaims himself
"The Last King of Scotland".
Seduced by Amin’s charisma and blinded by
decadence, Garrigan’s dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and
madness from which there is no escape.
Inspired by real people and events, this
gripping, suspenseful stunner is filled with performances you will never forget.
