Synopsis

Akeem, Crown Prince of the (fictional) African state of Zamunda, rebels against his arranged marriage - and travels to New York looking for a woman that will love him for who he is. Living in a grotty flat in an unfriendly district and taking a job in a burger bar, Akeem and his loyal servant get an interesting insight into how Americans live - once they've worked their way through some hilarious misunderstandings. A slick comedy with a stand-out central performance from the brilliant Eddie Murphy.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
