In Boris Pasternak's masterpiece, war and revolution bring poet and physician Yury Zhivago (Hans Matheson, The Tudors) together with the beautiful Lara (Keira Knightley, Pride & Prejudice), his muse and all-consuming passion. But both are haunted: Yury by guilt over betraying his wife, and Lara by fear of Komarovsky (Sam Neill, Jurassic Park), the powerful man who means to have her any way he can.
