1995 film by Michael Gottlieb
A Kid in King Arthur's Court is a 1995 adventure comedy fantasy film directed by Michael Gottlieb (in his final directorial film before his death in 2014). It is loosely based on the Mark Twain 1889 novel A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, previously filmed by Disney as Unidentified Flying Oddball in 1978. The film stars Thomas Ian Nicholas, Joss Ackland and Art Malik, and is notable for being one of the first film roles of Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet.
In the film, a teenaged baseball player from the suburbs of Los Angeles is swallowed by the ground during an earthquake, but somehow time travels to the court of an elderly King Arthur in the 6th century. He is thought to be a messianic figure from Merlin's prophecies. The time-traveler develops a crush on young Princess Katey, but the girl is kidnapped in an effort to blackmail her older sister into marrying one of the courtiers.
