His unmarried mother dies only moments later, leaving Oliver alone in the world. Ten years on and after growing up in a workhouse overseen by the awful Mr Bumble (Gregor Fisher), watching the suffering and cruelty endured by the children, Oliver finally decides he wants more.

When Oliver arrives in the big city, vulnerable and scared, he meets the Artful Dodger (Adam Arnold), Nancy (Sophie Okonedo), Fagin (Timothy Spall) and the boys, and gets the first warm welcome of his life. But naive and innocent, he's unaware that this kindness requires its own type of payment to be collected by the evil Bill Sikes (Tom Hardy).
