Magna Carta : Revolt of the Nobles (1959)

The film discusses the tumultuous reign of King John of England, who ascended to the throne in 1199. It highlights his conflicts with the barons as he attempted to centralize power while they sought to protect their feudal rights. King John faced military defeats in France, leading to discontent among his barons. In response to their grievances, he reluctantly agreed to the Magna Carta in 1215, which limited his powers and established the principle that no one, including the king, is above the law. This document is considered a foundational step towards modern democracy and the rule of law.
