The Duke

Set in 1961, The Duke tells the incredible true story of Kempton Bunton, a 60-year-old taxi driver who allegedly stole Francisco Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London. This act remains the only theft in the Gallery's history. Kempton sent ransom notes claiming he would return the painting on the condition that the British government provided free television licenses for the elderly. What follows is a heartwarming and humorous tale of a working-class man who stood up to the establishment to champion social change, ultimately revealing a startling family secret that had remained hidden for fifty years.
