Two powerful Queens battle for one throne in the riveting and extraordinary drama based on a true story, Mary Queen of Scots, arriving on Digital on May 10, 2019 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on May 20, 2019, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. A chronicle of two strong woman pitted against each other in an age of male dominance, the 16th century tale showcases “bold performances” (Lindsey Bahr, Associated Press) from Academy Award® nominees Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird) and Margot Robbie (I, Tonya) in their roles as Mary I of Scotland and Elizabeth I of England. Filled with manipulation, betrayal and deceit from start to finish, Mary Queen of Scots also features an outstanding supporting cast including Guy Pearce (The King’s Speech), Jack Lowden (Dunkirk), Joe Alwyn (Boy Erased) and David Tennant (“Doctor Who”).
Mary Queen of Scots explores the turbulent life of the charismatic Mary Stuart (Ronan). Queen of France at 16, widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry and instead returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. By birth, she also has a rival claim to the throne of Elizabeth I (Robbie), who rules as the Queen of England. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Rivals in power and love, the two Queens make very difficult choices about marriage and children. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens-driving them apart, as each women experiences the bitter cost of power.
