"The personal stories, love affairs and philosophies of the major characters are told against the backdrop of Napoleon's invasion of Russia at the turn of the 19th century."
"Napoleon's army advances through Europe, and the high society of St. Petersburg discusses philosophical matters: What sets history in motion? The ambition of an emperor, the hastiness of a tsar, or the talent of a military commander? The destiny of Russia is inseparable from that of Andrei Bolkonsky, Pierre Bezukhov, and Natasha Rostova."
"Follows the interconnected lives of a group of Russian aristocrats from 1805 to 1812, including Napoleon's invasion of Russia."
"Based on the book by Leo Tolstoy. Two main story-lines are complex and intertwined. One is the love story of young Countess Natasha Rostova and Count Pierre Bezukhov, who is unhappy in his marriage. Another is the 'Great Patriotic War' of 1812 against the invading Napoleon's Armies. The Russian people from all classes of society stand up united against the enemy culminating in the battle of Borodino. Both sides suffer tremendous losses in the war, and Russian society is left irrevocably changed."
