Synopsis

Charles Dickens' classic novel has been adapted many times but it's never lost its appeal. Here, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell teams up with some superb British acting talent to deliver his own sumptuously shot and atmospheric version. Sticking closely to both the words and spirit of Dickens, the 19th-century-set drama sees penniless orphan Pip given the opportunity to escape his humble roots thanks to a mystery benefactor. Becoming a gentleman in London, Pip thinks his new wealth and social status will win over spoilt beauty Estella - a young heiress he's adored since childhood. However his expectations of love and life are repeatedly shattered, particularly when the shocking truth about his fortune is revealed.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
