The Kingdom Plot Summary
What happens in The Kingdom from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
In 1920, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is established as various Wahhabi tribes unite under the ruling Royal family. A major turning point occurs in 1933 when oil is discovered with assistance from the United States. Given the deeply religious nature of Saudi society, special compounds are constructed to house American workers involved in oil extraction, and thus Aramco is founded. As the global economy increasingly relies on oil, the U.S. seeks to establish a security presence in the country. Consequently, the Saudi elite begin to lose their standing among conservative supporters due to excessive spending.
