A face set in stone, a monotone voice, a magnetism that transcends the screen: who is really hiding behind the mask of the murderer who made an entire generation tremble? Hannibal Hopkins & Sir Anthony is, first and foremost, the romantic story of a post-war child predestined for an unremarkable fate, whose life is a journey strewn with pitfalls, addiction, and opportunities lost—but also renewal. Through rare archives, numerous film excerpts, and interviews, this film reveals Sir Anthony Hopkins, the pride of the United Kingdom, an enigmatic, mysterious figure who was knighted by the Queen, and an unclassifiable, eccentric, and acerbic actor.
