Plot summary:

The lion king Mufasa is the king of the Pride Kingdom on the grassland. Under his wise leadership, all things live forever from sunrise to sunset. When he and his wife Sarabi gave birth to the little prince Simba (voiced by Donald Glover), the whole country was rejoicing. Only Mufasa's brother Scar (voiced by Chiwetel Ejiofor) was dissatisfied. Simba's birth meant that Scar was getting further and further away from the throne. The greedy Scar decided to use a trick to kill his brother and put the blame on Simba.

Young Simba mistakenly thought he had caused a disaster, and driven by guilt, he fled the Pride Lands and began a long exile. One day, his childhood sweetheart, the lioness Nala, unexpectedly broke into Simba's world, and he learned that Scar had inherited the throne and did whatever he wanted. The people of the Pride Lands were living in poverty and the country was devastated. Hearing such bad news, how will Simba, as an adult, face his inner demons, challenge his uncle Scar, and restore order on the grassland?
