About Arthur the King
Directed by Simon Cellan Jones from a screenplay by Michael Brandt, Arthur the King is based on Mikael Lindnord’s memoir “Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home. In it, Wahlberg plays Michael Light (the renamed Lindnord who 10 years ago bonded with a stray dog while racing across Brazil), a man desperate for one last chance to win and prove himself as a formidable adventure racer. When the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic is set to start, Light convinces a sponsor to back him and his team for the race. His team consists of his former teammate turned influencer, Leo (Simu Liu), an old rival with a bum knee, Chik (Ali Suliman), and newcomer Olivia (Nathalie Emmanuel), daughter of a climbing legend. During their trek over varying terrain, Light befriends a stray canine who seems to be as determined to survive his circumstances as Light. Against all odds the dog, named Arthur by Light, follows them on their journey, saving their lives, and helping them all to grow into better humans.
Arthur the King is a heartwarming, feel good film about perseverance, conquering doubt, and the unbreakable bond between humans and dogs. The film tugs at your heartstrings, as dog movies have been doing since the dawn of cinema, but it does so in a sincere way. After all, the true story has already captured the attention of the world, spawning books, an ESPN documentary, and a dog rescue foundation. It's sentimental and grounded, emotional yet still packs high energy thanks to the formidable trek through the wilds of the D.R. Arthur naturally steals the show but the humans put in solid performances as well, and thankfully the dog does not die.
