" Based on the classic novel, by Victor Hugo, the movie is about Jean Valjean, a Frenchman imprisoned for stealing bread, must flee a police officer named Javert. The pursuit consumes both men's lives, and soon Valjean finds himself in the midst of the student revolutions in France. The film may have gotten rave reviews, but audiences didn’t join the Resistance. "
