FILM SYNOPSIS: The widowed Mary Stuart, only 18 years old, returns from France to Scotland to claim its throne, much to the chagrin of her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I of England. Using their religious differences as a catalyst, power-hungry courtiers foment the rivalry between the monarchs until each is determined to win the other’s crown.
