Per the public statement, "Prohibit King takes after the untold, genuine story of Robert the Bruce, who changes from crushed aristocrat to ban saint amid the harsh control of medieval Scotland by Edward I of England.

In spite of grave outcomes, Robert grabs the Scottish crown and mobilizes an energetic gathering of men to battle back against the relentless armed force of the domineering King and his unpredictable child, the Prince of Wales."

This is unquestionably one of my most-foreseen films of the current year's festival. I making the most of Mackenzie's past motion pictures, Hell or High Water and Starred Up, and I'm anxious to perceive what he does with this material. It's a decent opener for TIFF, and it demonstrates that the festival isn't reluctant to sparkle a focus on enormous motion pictures regardless of whether those motion pictures are hitting Netflix not long from now. It will premium check whether this film wins Oscar thought or if it's only a major motion picture to open the fest.

"Much obliged to you, TIFF, for respecting our film into the world. The Festival is the ideal platform for our reasonable epic, and we are pleased to be the principal Scottish film ever to open Toronto," said executive David Mackenzie. "I can't envision a superior place to have our World Premiere. Scotland and Canada's narratives are bound together, produced in the cauldron of the battles of history, bringing this day a partiality and sensibility that I expectation will mean a significant, instinctive, and wildly engaging knowledge. We have an astounding cast and team working at the highest point of their amusement, and we are extremely anticipating spreading some Scottish generosity on the considerable city of Toronto."
