As Napoleon's army approaches the Russian border, the country's elite must confront the looming threat of war and the potential destruction of their way of life.

A sweeping epic novel adaptation, this eight-hour film weaves together two intricate storylines. It explores the doomed romance between Countess Natasha Rostova and the unhappy Count Pierre Bezukhov, while also chronicling the tumultuous "Great Patriotic War" of 1812, as Russia unites against Napoleon's invading forces.
