Plot Synopsis:
Nicholas Nickleby is writer-director Douglas McGrath's beautifully crafted film adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel starring Charlie Hunnam as the titular Nicholas. While shortened from the original inspirational tome, McGrath's film is no less a powerful and moving endeavor.
Nicholas, a young man setting out to provide for his mother and sister following the death of his father, will experience all that the world has to offer. Along the way he'll grapple with villains (including a lip-smacking, malevolent turn by Christopher Plummer as his uncle), build friendships, and ultimately find love.
