Sumario: La historia se centra en Oliver, un niño huérfano, que es castigado, manipulado, vendido, perseguido y azotado en un mundo de ladrones y canallas, pero es valiente, ingenioso y sabe sobrevivir ante tanta maldad. Pero el final entrega un premio a tanto sufrimiento.

Inglaterra, siglo XIX. En una noche de tormenta una mujer moribunda y embarazada llega a un orfanato donde, después de dar a luz, muere. Al recién nacido lo bautizan como Oliver Twist y vive sus primeros años en el orfanato hasta que el desaprensivo director de la institución decide venderlo a un empresario como aprendiz de su taller. Cansado de los malos tratos que recibe, Oliver huye a Londres donde acaba uniéndose a un grupo de pequeños rateros que viven bajo la férula del viejo Fagin
This bold adaptation of Oliver Twist breathes new life into Charles Dickens' wonderfully sordid tale of the orphan Oliver (Sam Smith), sent to the workhouse where children are raised on a diet of hard work and thin gruel. But the story doesn't end there. As the shrewd Artful Dodger (Alex Crowley), menacing Fagin (Robert Lindsay), and vicious Bill Sikes (Andy Serkis) lead Oliver into a life of crime on Victorian London's unforgiving streets, a dark conspiracy is revealed. Screenwriter Alan Bleasdale begins the film by using the backstory that Dickens ended with, in order to contextualize the classic for modern viewers. With Sophia Myles as Oliver's mother, Agnes Fleming.
After escaping from the dreary workhouse where he has spent his childhood, Oliver runs away to London, only to fall in with Artful Dodger, Fagin, and their gang of young thieves. It is only with the revelation of Oliver's true identity that his troubles finally end.
