Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, and Russell Crowe star in this adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon. Set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter Cosette, their lives change forever. The story is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Also stars Eddie Redmayne, Helena Bonham Carter, and Sacha Baron Cohen. Universal Studios Home Entertainment (universalstudiosentertainment.com). —Troy Carrington
