Kenneth Branagh's 1993 adaptation of the classic Shakespearean farce stars Branagh alongside Emma Thompson, Robert Sean Leonard, Kate Beckinsale, Denzel Washington, Michael Keaton and Keanu Reeves.
Hero and her groom-to-be, Claudio, team up with Claudio's commanding officer, Don Pedro, the week before their wedding to hatch a matchmaking scheme. Their targets are sharp-witted duo Benedick and Beatrice -- a tough task indeed, considering their corresponding distaste for love and each other. Meanwhile, meddling Don John plots to ruin the wedding.
