This landmark film is both a vast panorama of a nation convulsed in war and an intimate drama of one man's struggle to survive. The nation is Russia, a proud country brought to its knees by revolution. The man is Zhivago (Omar Sharif), a talented poet and dedicated surgeon whose war-disrupted life alters the lives of many, including the gentle woman he marries(Geraldine Chaplin) and the fiery woman he cannot forget (Julie Christie). Based on Boris Pasternak's Nobel Prize-winning novel, this powerful yet tender film garnered numerous Academy Awards. A brilliant production on every level, 'Doctor Zhivago' is epic moviemaking at its best.
