Set against the grit of post-war Wales, Mr Burton is the extraordinary true story of a working-class boy destined for greatness and the teacher who saw it first.
When Philip Burton, a principled and passionate schoolteacher in Port Talbot, meets Richie Jenkins, a volatile yet gifted teen from a fractured home, he recognises a spark that others have overlooked. Through mentorship, discipline, and love, Philip shapes Richie’s raw talent, setting him on the path to becoming Richard Burton, one of the greatest actors of the 20th century.
