As Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, Forest Whitaker gives 'one of the great performances of modern movie history' (The Wall Street Journal), one that the Associated Press calls 'nothing short of Oscar - worthy.' This is Amin's incredible story as seen through the eyes of Nicholas Garrigan (James McAvoy), a young Scotsman who becomes the volatile leader's personal physician, due in part to Amin's unexpected passion for Scottish culture - Amin even proclaims himself 'The Last King of Scotland.' Seduced by Amin's charisma and blinded by decadence, Garrigan's dream life becomes a waking nightmare of betrayal and madness from which there is no escape. Inspired by real people and events, this gripping, suspenseful stunner is filled with performances you will never forget.
