I remember seeing this incredible real-life story in the media a few years ago, and was really pleased to see that it had been taken to the screen. The movie is exceptionally uplifting, has some strong competitive/adventure drama, and gives great portrayals of teamwork and camaraderie under arduous conditions.

Arthur really is a special dog. Why and how he followed, caught up, and stayed with the race team is a heart touching mystery. It's amazing how much impact he seemed to have on the team.

Arthur the King will definitely make your eyes glisten. Who can resist an inspiring movie about a wonderful dog?

In 2015, Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) leads a team of extreme racers. His driven stubborn decision ends their race early. His combative second Leo (Simu Liu) posts an unflattering pic. It's 3 years later and he's struggling with normal life. He decides to race one last time. He recruits veteran racer Chik (Ali Suliman) with a bad knee, Olivia (Nathalie Emmanuel), and Leo who has since become a social media influencer. Olivia is only racing for her legendary climber father who is dying from cancer. Then there is a dog.

This is very fine. It's based on a true story. It is a standard underdog sports movie. Heck, they even have a dog. It is sweet. It is sincere. There are some good adventure thrills. The zip line scene looks great on top of the thrills. Again, it has a dog. It's great.
