A True Story of Triumph Against the Odds

Set in the Welsh town of Port Talbot in 1942, MR BURTON reveals the inspirational true story of Richard Jenkins, a young schoolboy facing the pressures of a troubled family, a devastating war, and his own self-doubt. It’s a journey of survival, transformation, and artistic evolution, showing how a poor miner’s son rose to become one of the greatest actors the world has ever known.

Under the watchful guidance of Philip Burton, Richard’s natural acting talent flourishes, propelling him toward the acting world where he faces both the bright allure of success and the darker weight of his past. With a compelling, emotionally resonant story, MR BURTON taps into universal themes of ambition, mentorship, and personal growth.

Toby Jones, Harry Lawtey and Lesley Manville star.
