England's Prince Albert (Colin Firth) must ascend the throne as
King George VI, but he has a speech impediment. Knowing that the country
needs her husband to be able to communicate effectively, Elizabeth
(Helena Bonham Carter) hires Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), an Australian
actor and speech therapist, to help him overcome his
stammer. An extraordinary friendship develops between the two men, as
Logue uses unconventional means to teach the monarch how to speak with
confidence.
