Oliver Twist

In the Nineteenth Century, orphan Oliver Twist is sent from the orphanage to a workhouse, where the children are mistreated and barely fed. He moves to the house of an undertaker, but after an unfair severe spank, he starts a seven day runaway to London. He arrives exhausted and starving, and is soon welcomed in a gang of pickpockets lead by the old crook Fagin. When he is mistakenly taken as a thief, the wealthy victim Mr. Brownlow brings Oliver to his home and shelters him. But Fagin and the dangerous Bill Sykes decide to kidnap Oliver to burglarize Mr. Brownlow's fancy house. —Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, BrazilAwards: 2 wins & 4 nominationsBudget: $60,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $42,580,321Soundtrack: Newry Town (Performed by Jumbo Brightwell)Roman PolanskiBarney Clark, Ben Kingsley, Jeremy Swift2005-09-30 (France, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Italy)tt0380599
