The Green Knight is a dark fantasy film based on the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The story follows Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), the young nephew of King Arthur, who embarks on a perilous journey to confront the mysterious and powerful Green Knight, a supernatural figure who challenges him to a life-or-death game.

One Christmas, the Green Knight appears at Camelot, offering a challenge: any knight brave enough to strike him can deliver a blow, but in one year’s time, the challenger must receive a similar blow in return. Sir Gawain, eager to prove his worth and courage, accepts the challenge and strikes off the Green Knight’s head, only to witness the knight rise and leave with his head in hand, signaling that the year will come when Gawain must honor the agreement.

As the year passes, Gawain sets off to find the Green Knight and fulfill his part of the pact, facing trials that test his honor, morality, and sense of self. Along the way, he encounters mystical creatures, temptations, and moments of self-doubt. The film explores themes of bravery, fate, and the nature of knighthood, with a focus on the internal journey of Gawain, his quest for meaning, and his ultimate confrontation with destiny.

Visually striking and filled with allegorical richness, The Green Knight blends folklore, philosophy, and surreal imagery to create a thought-provoking and haunting cinematic experience.
