Based on a true story, the 43-year-old Irish actor plays Sir James Brooke, who defies the British Empire to rule a jungle kingdom in the colonial, historic thriller directed by
Michael Haussman.
Here’s the full synopsis: “In 1839, Brooke flees Victorian England to explore Borneo. After a pirate attack, Brooke allies with rival princes to seize a rebel fort. To save prisoners from beheading, Brooke agrees to be crowned Rajah. James begs the Royal Navy for a steamship to fight pirates, but the British want his kingdom as a colony. Makota’s pirates massacre Brooke’s capital, leaving James half-dead. To save his people, he must shed Englishness and embrace the jungle: “All of it, the beauty and the blood.”
