One of the most celebrated musicals of all time returns to cinemas. Boldly remixed and remastered in Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Russell Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Anne Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Enjoy the re-mastered version of Boublil and Schönberg’s legendary musical, which is still breaking records around the world and will soon celebrate its 40th Anniversary in London’s West End.

When originally released, Les Misérables stormed the global box office to become one of the most successful musical adaptations of all time, as well as triumph at the Academy Awards®, with three wins, including Best Supporting Actress for Anne Hathaway for her portrayal of Fantine, Best Achievement in Sound Mixing and Best Achievement in Makeup and Hairstyling.

With a legendary cast including Oscar® nominee Hugh Jackman (The Greatest Showman, The Wolverine), Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind), Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises, The Devil Wears Prada), Oscar® nominee Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia!, Dear John), Academy Award® winner Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl, The Theory of Everything), Tony winner Aaron Tveit (GREASE Live!, Schmigadoon!) and musical-theatre sensation Samantha Barks, with Oscar® nominees Helena Bonham Carter (Harry Potter series, Sweeney Todd) and Sacha Baron Cohen (Hugo, Borat).

Les Misérables is directed by Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech, The Danish Girl) and produced by Eric Fellner for Working Title Films and Cameron Mackintosh, together with Tim Bevan and Debra Hayward, with a screenplay written by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer, music by Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer. The film was remixed by Tom Hooper, Cameron Mackintosh, Lee McCutcheon, Stephen Metcalfe and Andy Nelson.
