Like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favourite child. And his name is David Copperfield.' – Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens' classic mid-nineteenth-century work David Copperfield comes to life in a lavish three-hour adaptation from filmmaker Peter Medak.

Tracing the extraordinary life of a young man coming into his own, David Copperfield (Hugh Dancy) is a character of considerable perseverance. After the death of his father at a young age, David must deal with blustering stepfather Edward Murdstone (Anthony Edwards), who rules with a heavy hand. Exposed to the many trials and tribulations of a boarding school education, David returns to his family home only to encounter alienation rather than reunion. Turning to eccentric aunt Betsey Trotwood (Oscar winner Sally Field) for support and guidance, David sets out to establish himself and build a life of worthwhile experiences in an unforgiving world of deception, where reputation and status is everything.

Featuring supporting performances from Paul Bettany, Michael Richards, Eileen Atkins, Judy Cornwell, Nigel Davenport, Edward Hardwicke, Freddie Jones, Alec McCowen and Frank McCusker, David Copperfield perfectly captures the life-long saga – a tale of determination and personal fortitude – celebrating one of the greatest characters in literary history.
