Mordred, an iron fisted warlock, and his armies lay siege to Camelot, seeking to establish the dominance of magic-wielding mages over humankind. Uther Pendragon (Eric Bana), king of the Britons, infiltrates Mordred's lair and beheads him, destroying his forces and saving Camelot. Later that evening, Uther's treacherous brother Vortigern (Jude Law), who covets the throne, orchestrates a coup and sacrifices his wife Elsa to moat hags in order to summon a demon knight, who kills Uther's wife and slays him in combat. The only survivor is Uther's son, who drifts away in a boat and eventually ends up in Londinium, where he is found and raised by prostitutes, who name him Arthur.

Arthur (Charlie Hunnam) grows into a skilled fighter and man of the streets, alongside his friends Tristan and Backlack. The three confront a group of Vikings who had mistreated one of the prostitutes, forcing them to pay her restitution. Afterwards, the brothel is raided by the Blacklegs, Vortigern's minions, and Arthur learns that the Vikings were under the king's protection. Arthur tries to escape the city, but is caught and put on a ship with hundreds of other men. He learns that a mysterious, magic sword has appeared near Vortigern's castle, and the Blacklegs have been forcing all men of Arthur's age to try to pull it from the surrounding stone. When Arthur tries, he pulls the sword out and is quickly overwhelmed by and passes out from its vast power. Vortigern meets with him in the dungeon, revealing his true lineage. Meanwhile, a mage woman (Àstrid Bergès-Frisbey) identifying herself only as an acolyte of Merlin, meets with Uther's former general, Sir Bedivere (Djimon Hounsou).
At Arthur's planned execution, the mage uses her magic to stage a diversion while Percival and Rubio, two of Bedivere's men, rescue Arthur. Taken to Bedivere's hideout, Arthur initially refuses to help them, but soon collapses again when he tries to wield the sword. The mage persuades Bedivere to take Arthur to a realm called the "Darklands," where he's given a vision of how Uther sacrificed himself to save Arthur and entomb the sword in stone. Arthur learns Vortigern was responsible for persuading Mordred to rebel against humanity, having grown jealous of Uther's power. Arthur returns determined to destroy Vortigen.
With his friends and Bedivere's men, Arthur stages a series of ambushes and attacks to force Vortigern out of hiding. Aware that his maid is a spy for Bedivere, Vortigen announces plans to meet with his barons in Londonium, sending a body double in his place. The rebels realize the deception but attack anyway; in the process, Rubio is captured while Backlack is severely wounded. The others take refuge in a fighters' school run by Arthur's mentor George, where they are quickly overrun by the Blacklegs. Seeing the mage being held at knifepoint, Arthur unleashes Excalibur's potential, single-handedly killing all of the enemy soldiers.
As night falls and riots break out all over Londonium, the rebels take shelter in a safe house. Knowing that he is mortally wounded, Backlack urges the others to go on, and he is soon found and interrogated by Vortigern and the Blackleg commander, Mischief John. Backlack's son Blue returns for his father, only to be forced to watch his father die at Vortigern's hand.
Ashamed of his failures, Arthur, tries to throw away the sword, but the Lady of the Lake returns it and shows him a vision of England's future under Vortigern's rule. Coming to terms with his responsibility, Arthur reunites with Bedivere, George, and Percival. When they return to the rebel hideout, however, they discover all of their allies dead, Vortigern having found them by torturing Rubio. Mischief John delivers a message from the king: if Arthur does not surrender himself by nightfall, the captured mage and Blue will die.
Arthur surrenders himself, but as Vortigern is about to execute his nephew, a giant snake summoned by the mage attacks and devours Mischief John and his men. While Bedivere and the others lead an attack on the castle, a desperate Vortigern sacrifices his only daughter and is transformed into the demon knight, confronting Arthur in a separate dimension. Despite his fighting skill, Arthur is quickly beaten. As he is about to submit, he witnesses a vision of his father, accepting the sword as his own and his character as a result of all Vortigern has done. Arthur violently slays Vortigern but blesses him as he dies.
In the aftermath, Arthur, George, and Percival begin building a round table where Arthur and his knights will meet. Arthur dissolves Vortigern's pact with the Vikings, declaring that they must respect England's power if they wish to avoid war. Blue and the prostitutes arrive with the crown of Uther, which Arthur accepts. King Arthur then addresses his new subjects, holding the sword aloft.
