Based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, LES MISERABLES travels through three turbulent decades of 19thcentury France. Steeped with romance, passion, suspense and humanity, it is the story of the fugitive Jean Valjean, who is in a lifelong struggle to evade being captured as he is relentlessly pursued by the sanctimonious Inspector Javert.
