War & Peace: The Complete Miniseries

In early-19th-century Russia, the privileged lives of three youngsters amongst St. Petersburg’s elite--moneyed illegitimate Pierre (Paul Dano), brave but directionless Andrei (James Norton), and sensitive romantic Natasha (Lily James)--would forever change as Napoleon’s forces inexorably marched east. Sumptuous BBC take on the Tolstoy epic also stars Greta Scacchi, Adrian Edmonson, Tuppence Middleton, Aisling Loftus, Jim Broadbent, Gillian Anderson, Stephen Rea. 6 hrs. total on two discs.
