Experience one of the most beloved and well-known stories in world literature as a magnificent film adaptation. Based on Charles Dickens' classic novel, Great Expectations is a timeless tale of love, class differences, betrayal, and self-discovery on the misty coasts of 19th-century England and the bustling streets of London.
The story follows the orphan boy Pip, whose life is permanently altered when he encounters a terrifying escaped convict and later the mysterious Miss Havisham, trapped in the bitter memories of her wealth. Pip falls passionately in love with Miss Havisham's adopted daughter Estella but feels he is of too low a birth for her. When Pip unexpectedly inherits a fortune from an unknown benefactor, he heads to London to become a gentleman – but soon discovers that "great expectations" and riches do not guarantee happiness or honesty.
