Full Plot Details

By 1812, Napoleon's (Herbert Lom's) forces controlled much of Europe. Russia, one of the few countries still unconquered, prepares to face Napoleon's troops together with Austria. Amongst the Russian soldiers, are Count Nikolai Rostov (Jeremy Brett) and Prince Andrei Bolkonsky (Mel Ferrer). Count Pierre Bezukhov (Henry Fonda), a friend of Andrei's, and self-styled intellectual, who is not interested in fighting. Pierre's life changes when his father dies, leaving him a vast inheritance. He is attracted to Natasha Rostov (Audrey Hepburn), Nikolai's sister, but she is too young, so he gives in to baser desires and marries the shallow, manipulative Princess Helene (Anita Ekberg). The marriage ends when Pierre discovers his wife's true nature. Andrei is captured and later released by the French, and returns home only to watch his wife die in childbirth. A few months later, Pierre and Andrei meet again. Andrei sees Natasha and falls in love, but his father will only permit the marriage if they postpone it for one year until Natasha turns seventeen. While Andrei is away on a military mission, Natasha is drawn to Anatole Kuragin (Vittorio Gassman), a womanizer. Pierre saves Natasha by telling her of Anatole's past before she can elope with him. Napoleon invades Russia. Pierre visits Andrei on the eve of the battle, and observes the battle that follows. Traumatized by the carnage, he vows to kill Napoleon.

Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzA stilted and ponderous epic about Napoleon's failed Russian invasion of 1812.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 5/10 by Steve CrumSpectacle galore starring Hepburn and Fonda.
New York Times - 3/10 by Bosley CrowtherAlas, the human stories that Tolstoy told so significantly in the book are sketchy and inconsequential, despite the time devoted to them.
User Review - 10/10 by WS WIt's not the novel. Other directors captured the novel. Still, this towering achievement from King Vidor stands as an overlooked grand hollywood epic that outdoes anything from it's era in craftsmanship if not sheer, breathtaking scale.
User Review - 10/10 by Alex RThis movie was sooo sad especially at the end when the general accidentally killed Audrey then the Prince(Audrey's husband in the movie) fought with the General to avenge but little did they know they were brothers it felt like the battle between Obi-Wan and Anakin except in this one both of them die f all the critics that didn't like it you can go f yourselfs. Hey critics you ducking suck at rating movies like you gave this movie bad reviews but can you explain how it won an Academy Award for best picture explain that critics you ducking idiots. I loved this movie, this movie just like all of Audrey Hepburn's other movies touched my heart and it was inspiring and this movie just like the rest of Audrey Hepburn's other movies was incredibly brilliantly excellently fantastically amazing and this movie just like the rest of Audrey Hepburn's other movies has an incredibly brilliantly excellently fantastically amazing performance from Audrey Hepburn. Audrey Hepburn won't ever fail me with her incredibly brilliantly excellently fantastically amazing acting of her's. This movie didn't feel like 3 hours and 28 min it felt like 2 hours unlike Cleopatra, Cleopatra was 4 hours and 30 min long and Cleopatra was soooo boring it felt like 6 hours. Please don't make the Cleopatra remake with Angelina Jolie long and boring Happy Birthday Audrey Hepburn -5/4/13
User Review - 10/10 by Blake POne of the best epics. It's the early 1800's, and were trust into the lives of Natasha (Hepburn), Pierre (Fonda), and Andre (Ferrer) in Moscow. "War and Peace" (in my opinion) seemed to have started the chain of epics coming to Hollywood-- "Ben-Hur", "The Ten Commandments" and "Spartacus" to name a few. This one always seems to be overlooked, however, it should not be. Though it made it into my favorite movie guide "501 Must-See Movies", still, it doesn't get much recognition. The duration of this movie really focuses from character to character, which I think was very wonderfully done considering how massive the book is. You get Henry Fonda, husband and wife team Mel Ferrer and Audrey Hepburn, and a chain of a sleek foreign cast of unknowns (with a look at cult sex-symbol Anita Ekberg), and somehow pulls it off. Hepburn is absolutely wonderful here, and I really consider it one of her best performances. I read one comment saying it was like cardboard, and though it's just an opinion, it's way off. Vidor's awesome direction makes this epic a masterpiece within seconds. The set designs and the costumes are the best, while the special effects really blow you away. The casting was perfect, that sometimes, you really felt like you were living in those times. The action sequences of the war, the bombs, the horse riding, the attacking, etc. was so realistic, I wouldn't be shocked if people got killed, that's how realistic it was. I haven't actually read "War and Peace"-- so I have nothing to compare it to, but if you're a fan of "Ben- Hur" or "The Ten Commandments", then this will truly quench your thirst.
User Review - 10/10 by alex iI love the part where André overhears Natasha... best of all. Gotta love this movie... tho 3 hours long or so.
User Review - 10/10 by John NDA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! DA! (Love theme from Dr. Zhivago). A visually stunning film epic about love and loves lost. An all star cast with all star performances. The costumes and scenery were amazingly and Vidor's direction was impeccably strong.
User Review - 10/10 by Yamato CNever seen a better movie ! 3 hour joyride. Salute Leo Tolstoy
User Review - 10/10 by Tiffany GI could never get into the book, but the movie is AMAZING! Audrey Hepburn is my favorite actress and she does a great job in this movie!
