Contrary to earlier accounts, and based on Dr. John Guy&rsquo;s research, we see Mary as a capable politician and leader who wanted an alliance with her cousin Elizabeth. Mary fights to govern her unruly kingdom at a time when female monarchs are reviled as monstrous. To secure their thrones, the two Queens make very different choices about marriage and children. Mary&rsquo;s reputation is under continual attack from her enemies, who construct lies about her sexual conduct. Betrayal, rebellion and conspiracies within each court imperil both Queens&ndash;driving them apart, as each woman experiences the bitter cost of power.&nbsp;<\/p>","in_theaters":"<p>Now Playing<\/p>","date_release":"2018-12-07","division":"focus_features","logo":"","rating_img":"","show_grid":1,"show_grid_filters":0,"show_in_theaters":0,"show_theater_details":1,"show_awards_intro":0,"show_screenings_intro":0,"modal_head_img":"","screening_notes":"","screening_guild_url":"","meta_title":"Mary Queen of Scots Movie | Official Website | Trailers and Release Dates | Focus Features","meta_desc":"Mary Queen of Scots stars Saoirse Ronan as Mary Stuart and Margot Robbie as Elizabeth I.

Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne. But Scotland and England fall under the rule of the compelling Elizabeth I (Robbie). Each young Queen beholds her &ldquo;sister&rdquo; in fear and fascination. Rivals in power and in love, and female regents in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth&rsquo;s sovereignty.
