"Les Misérables" is a romantic musical drama film directed by Tom Hooper and based on the musical of the same name by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg which is in turn based on the 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo. It tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict, who decides to turn his life around. As time goes by he becomes mayor of a town in France and owner of a factory in that town. One of Valjean's factory workers, Fantine, blames him for her being cast into a life of prostitution. He helps her but she dies. Jean Valjean feels responsible and agrees to take care of her illegitimate daughter, Cosette. Later, when Cosette is grown, they are swept up in the political turmoil in Paris, which culminates in the Paris Uprising of 1832.
