SET against the backdrop of 19th-century France, the British musical drama film tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption - a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit.
In 1815, convict Jean Valjean is released on parole by prison guard Javert after serving a 19-year sentence. Valjean is driven out of every town, because of his paroled status.
Eight years later, Valjean has become a factory owner and mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer. Fantine, one of his workers, is discovered to be sending money to her illegitimate daughter, Cosette, who lives with the unscrupulous Th茅nardiers, and is dismissed by the foreman.
In a desperate attempt to support her daughter, Fantine becomes a prostitute. She is arrested by Javert after she attacks an abusive man, but is saved by Valjean, who has her hospitalized.
Later, Valjean learns that a man believed to be him has been arrested. Unable to accept that an innocent man is condemned in his place, Valjean reveals his identity to the court at the man's trial. Returning to the hospital, he promises a dying Fantine that he will look after her daughter.
Javert arrives to take Valjean into custody, but after a brief confrontation, Valjean jumps into a river to escape. He pays the Th茅nardiers to allow him to take her, and promises to be like a father to her. They elude Javert's pursuit and begin a new life in Paris 鈥
