 The Other Boleyn Girl.

King Henry VIII's (Eric Bana) marriage to Catherine of Aragon does not produce a male heir to the
throne; their only surviving daughter is Mary . Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk and his brother-in-
law Thomas Boleyn plan to install Boleyn's older daughter Anne Boleyn, as the king's mistress. They
hope Anne will bear him a son. Anne's mother, Lady Elizabeth Boleyn, is disgusted by the plot. Anne
eventually agrees to please her father and uncle. Anne's younger sister, Mary Boleyn marries William
Carey even though his family had asked for Anne's hand.
While visiting the Boleyn estate, Henry is injured in a hunting accident, indirectly caused by Anne,
and, urged by her scheming uncle, is nursed by Mary. While in her care, Henry becomes smitten with
her and invites her to court. Mary and her husband reluctantly agree, aware that the king has invited
her because he desires her. Mary and Anne become ladies-in-waiting to Queen Catherine and Henry
sends William Carey abroad on an assignment. Separated from her husband, Mary finds herself
falling in love with Henry. Anne secretly marries the nobleman Henry Percy, although he is betrothed
to Lady Mary Talbot. Anne confides in her brother George Boleyn, who is overjoyed and proceeds to
tell Mary. Fearing Anne will ruin the Boleyn family by marrying such a prominent earl without the
king's consent, Mary alerts her father and uncle. They confront Anne, annul the marriage, and exile
her to France.
Mary becomes pregnant. Her family receives new grants and estates, their debts are paid, and Henry
arranges George's marriage to Jane Parker. When Mary nearly suffers a miscarriage, she is confined
to bed until her child is born. Norfolk recalls Anne to England to keep Henry's attention from
wandering to another rival. In her belief that Mary exiled her to increase her own status, Anne
successfully campaigns to win Henry over. When Mary gives birth to a son, Henry Carey, Thomas
and Norfolk are overjoyed, but the celebration is short lived, as Anne whispered to Henry that the
baby was born a bastard, which infuriates Norfolk. Henry then has Mary sent to the country at Anne's
request. Shortly after, Mary is widowed. Anne encourages Henry to break from the Catholic
Church when the Poperefuses to annul his marriage to Queen Catherine. Henry succumbs to Anne's
demands, declares himself Supreme Head of the Church of England, and gets Cardinal Thomas
Wolsey to annul the marriage.
Henry comes to Anne's rooms but she refuses to have sex with him, and, in a fit of rage, he rapes
her. A pregnant Anne marries Henry to please her family and becomes Queen of England. Despite
the birth of a healthy daughter, Elizabeth, Henry blames Anne for not producing a son, and begins
courting Jane Seymour (Corinne Galloway) in secret. After Anne suffers the miscarriage of a son,
she begs George to have sex with her to replace the child she lost, because if anyone found out
about the miscarriage, she would be burned as a witch. George at first agrees, realizing that it is
Anne's only hope, but they do not go through with it. However, George's neglected wife Jane
witnesses enough of their encounter to become suspicious. She reports what she has seen and both
Anne and George are arrested. The two are found guilty and sentenced to death
for treason, adultery and incest. Distraught by the news of the execution of George, his mother
disowns her husband and brother, vowing never to forgive them for what their greed has done to her
children.
After Mary learns that she was late for George's execution, she returns to court to plead for Anne's
life. Believing that Henry will spare her sister, she leaves to see Anne right before the scheduled
execution. Anne asks Mary to take care of her daughter Elizabeth if anything should happen to her.
Mary watches from the crowd as Anne makes her final speech, waiting for the execution to be
cancelled as Henry promised. A letter from Henry is given to Mary, warning her not to come to his
court further, and implicitly revealing his decision to execute Anne after all. Ten days after Anne's
execution, Henry and Jane are married, Norfolk is imprisoned, and the next three generations of his
family are executed for treason. Mary marries William Stafford and they have two children, Anne and
Edward. Mary takes an active role in raising Anne's daughter Elizabeth, who grows up to become
Queen of England, and reigns for 44 years.
