Based on the controversial novel by Boris Pasternak, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO follows its characters from the decadence of fin de siècle Russia, through the revolution of 1905, World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 until the purges of Stalin’s government. Against this backdrop, Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif), a married Moscow physician, is conscripted into the medical corps, meets and falls in love with army nurse Lara (Julie Christie) as they care for the wounded and dying soldiers from the front. Winner of five Academy Awards, the story is the hell of war and the smallness of the individual when caught up in the vast political upheaval of 1900 – 1935 Russia.
