Richard Burton was one of the most powerful voices and commanding presences ever to appear on the screen. Before becoming a legendary Hollywood star, he served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war, Burton rose rapidly through the world of theatre and cinema, delivering unforgettable performances in films such as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Becket, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and The Robe.
Despite receiving seven Academy Award nominations, the Oscar always remained just beyond his grasp — one of the most remarkable near-misses in film history.
This documentary explores Burton’s journey from his early life in Wales and his wartime service in the Royal Air Force, to his extraordinary acting career, his turbulent love story with Elizabeth Taylor, and the legacy of a performer whose voice and presence shaped generations of cinema.
