Sequel to the seven-time Academy Award nominated film Elizabeth, Elizabeth The Golden Age is a historical thriller laced with treachery and romance.

As we step into Elizabeth The Golden Age , we find Queen Elizabeth I (Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett) facing bloodlust for her throne and familial betrayal. Aware of the changing religious and political tides of late 16th century Europe, Elizabeth finds her rule openly challenged by the Spanish King Philip II (Jordi Molla), determined to restore England to Catholicism.

Elizabeth struggles to balance ancient royal duties with an unexpected vulnerability in her love for Raleigh as she prepares for inevitable war. Unable and unwilling to pursue her love, Elizabeth devises a strategy to pair Raleigh with her favorite lady-in-waiting, Bess (Abbie Cornish), but this strategy backfires, forcing Elizabeth’s submission to their growing intimacy.

As she charts her course abroad, her trusted advisor, Sir Francis Walsingham Geoffrey Rush), continues his masterful puppetry of Elizabeth’s court at home and her campaign to solidify absolute power. He uncovers an assassination plot that could topple the throne and unmasks traitors that may include Elizabeth’s own cousin Mary Stuart (Samantha Morton).
