Short description
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, finds out that his uncle Claudius killed his father to obtain the throne, and plans revenge.
What's left behind the scenes
- Director Franco Zeffirelli (1923-2019) wanted Mel Gibson to play the lead role, after seeing him in Richard Donner's action film *Lethal Weapon* (1987).
- Mel Gibson founded Icon Productions to finance this film, as no major studio wanted to invest in a project based on a Shakespearean tragedy.
