Summary
Kenneth Branagh's sun-drenched adaptation of Shakespeare's comedy follows two pairs of would-be lovers in Messina. Soldiers returning from war are welcomed by Leonato, where young Claudio falls for his daughter Hero, while the sharp-tongued Benedick and Beatrice trade barbs that their friends scheme to turn into love. A villain's plot to slander Hero threatens the celebrations before wit and truth restore order.
