The Lion King is one of the most successful American films ever, achieving resounding success in cinemas, to the point that it was classified as one of the highest-grossing films in the history of cinema. Due to the success of this film, it was nominated for many, many awards for its story, the artists involved in the work, the filming techniques, sound, dialogue, and everything else, to the point that it entered the Guinness Book of Records, and indeed won the title of the highest-grossing new version at the global box office.

The Lion King movie story The film begins with great joy shaking the corners and regions of the land ruled by a strong and brave lion called (Mufasa), the king and his wife (Sarabi), where a little cub came to them and they named (Simba), he is the king after him and he will lead the reins of all matters in the future and he will go out with him to the animals and birds and share his happiness with them, but the winds do not blow as the ships desire, not everything is easy, there must be enemies lurking, and indeed Mufasa's worst enemy was his younger brother Scar, unfortunately, but he does not show what is inside him of grudge against him and his cub, but he continues throughout the film to harm them and causes them many horrors and hardships, and the events escalate in their suspense.

Movie Events The events of The Lion King revolve around Scar, who tries by all means to reach the throne and bring down Mufasa and Simba in every way. Mufasa always gives Simba advice and explains to him how kings should behave and not act foolishly or hastily.

On the other hand, Scar was making agreements with the hyenas to overthrow Mufasa and get rid of Simba with him, and he planned that carefully, and despite Mufasa's endless warnings to Simba, Simba could not stand up to the cunning and deceit of his uncle Scar, who never stopped.

Indeed, Scar was able to drag him to a remote and forbidden place, and in agreement with the hyenas, he was attacked, but at the last moment, Mufasa was able to save him and became very angry with him. This was certainly not enough for Scar, as his plan failed, so he tried again, but this time to get rid of them all at once.

He set a trap for them, and when Mufasa went to save her cub, Scar got rid of him without anyone seeing him and planted in Simba a feeling of guilt that he was the reason for what happened to Mufasa and that if it weren't for him, he would have been alive. He told him to run away and Simba actually did that, and Scar didn't waste any time and made the others believe that they were dead and he took over the kingdom, but many surprises will happen at the end of the movie, as evil will definitely not win.

But Simba succeeds in pushing him from a high place, and he falls into the hands of the hyenas who disagree with him at first, and they kill him mercilessly, and he gets the punishment he deserves.
