Sensitive poet and physician Dr Zhivago (Omar Sharif) is thrown into the washing machine of history via the Russian Revolution and the First World War. Along the way, he must negotiate his feelings for both his devoted wife and his feisty, forbidden love.

Winner of five Academy Awards, David Lean’s take on Boris Pasternak’s big Russian novel will sweep you away with its themes of war, peace, love, power, lust and anguish.
