This epic story recounts the struggle against adversity in 19th century France. Imprisoned for stealing a loaf of bread, Jean Valjean is released from his 19-year term and becomes an honest man, the mayor of a prosperous town, and a loving adoptive father – but violating his parole in the process. The relentless Inspector Javert makes a decent life impossible for Valjean. Only years later -- after Valjean proves his mettle during a bloody student uprising and saves the life of a young man hopelessly in love with Valjean's adopted daughter -- does the ex-convict finally feel redeemed.
