Les Misérables is a musical drama directed by Tom Hooper, adapted from the iconic stage musical and Victor Hugo’s classic novel. Set in 19th-century France, the story follows ex-prisoner Jean Valjean as he tries to rebuild his life while being relentlessly pursued by Inspector Javert. Against a backdrop of social upheaval and political unrest, Valjean’s path intertwines with characters struggling for justice, love, and freedom. Deeply emotional and visually grand, the film is a sweeping portrait of human resilience and compassion.
