The Canterbury Story is a 1954 British drama film directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. It follows the story of a young man, Tom, who is sent to live with his uncle in the English countryside. He soon discovers that his uncle is involved in smuggling and other illegal activities. Tom must decide whether to join his uncle's criminal activities or to stand up for what he believes is right. The term 'TALE' is an apt description for this story, as it is a narrative of Tom's journey and the choices he makes.
