From the coalfields of Wales to the stages of Hollywood—discover the untold story of a legend.Set in 1940s Port Talbot, Mr Burton is a powerful and moving biographical drama that charts the early life of Richard Burton—born Richard Jenkins—the 12th of 13 children in a working-class Welsh family. With a mother lost too soon and a father consumed by drink, young Richard’s future seemed uncertain. But everything changed when he met Philip Burton, a passionate English teacher who recognized his raw talent and became his mentor—and eventually, his adoptive father.
Starring Harry Lawtey as the young Richard Burton and Toby Jones as the inspirational Mr Burton, this film is a heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of education, mentorship, and the arts. With a stellar supporting cast including Lesley Manville, Mr Burton is a must-see for fans of true stories, British cinema, and unforgettable performances.
