THE WOMAN KING is the story of an all-female unit in a West African kingdom. The year is 1823. In the kingdom of Dahomey, King Ghezo (John Boyega) has employed the services of Agojie, an all-female group of warriors, headed by General Nanisca (Viola Davis). They peacefully coexist with the… neighbouring Oyo empire. However, this peace is threatened when the slavers from the Oyo Empire attempt to enslave Dahomean women. Nansica and her team rescue them. Angered by this development, King Ghezo decides to go on an all-out war with Oyo, despite the neighbouring kingdom being bigger and more powerful. Nansica also starts training a new batch of warriors and one of them is Nawi (Thuso Mbedu). She has been offered to the king by her father after she refuses to marry a man of his choice. Nawi is perceived as arrogant but wins the trust of Izogie (Lashana Lynch), a veteran Agojie and also of Nansica. The latter realizes that she has a strong connection with Nawi. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
