Peter Brook porta sullo schermo la sua celebrata messinscena del Lear ambientando la storia in un clima cupo e invernale da antica saga nordica. Paul Scofield ripete la sua performance nella parte del vecchio re shakespeariano che divide il regno fra le sue figlie e se ne pente. Cacciato da loro, impazzisce e muore.
