Sergei Bondarchuck’s Academy Award-winning eight-hour epic is the cinema’s definitive adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s literary classic. Skillfully interweaving intimate drama with some of the most breathtaking battle scenes ever brought to the screen, the film relays the triumphs, tragedies and romances that affect the lives of two aristocratic families at the time of Napoleon’s tumultuous invasion of Russia.
