King Rat (1965) follows the story of George Segal, a cunning and resourceful prisoner in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Known as "King Rat" for his unconventional method of breeding rats to supplement the meager rations of his fellow inmates, Segal orchestrates a complex black market network within the camp. His operations take a significant turn when British officer James Fox joins forces with him, facilitating trade with the Japanese guards. Despite his seemingly self-serving nature, Segal demonstrates a hidden depth of compassion when he secures vital antibiotics to save Fox's life. This gripping narrative earned King Rat (1965) Academy Award nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography.
