family life set against the backdrop of war. The novel begins in 1805 in the crowded and gossip-filled rooms of a St Petersburg party and follows the fortunes of the aristocratic Bolkonsky and Rostov families as Napoleon's armies sweep through Europe culminating in the French invasion of Russia in 1812 and Napoleon's defeat.

Advantages: three amazing movies Disadvantages: not so great extras
specially made for the collector?sedition detailing how the films were made. The booklet comes complete with pictures but in all honesty takes about ten minutes to flick through. Overall I cannot recommend the Die Hard Trilogy enough. Presented in 5.1 Dolby surround sound it sounds amazing, and all three of them look fantastic too! All three are genuinely exciting, keeping you on the edge of your seat right until the last moment. All in all these are an absolute classic and seriously worth the money! Well done 20th Century Fox for producing such a good box set. ...

The film is rated a 12 as it contains one scene of torture and strong action violence.
I would recommend any action film fans to buy this DVD as it is well worth viewing, I have watched it 7 or 8 times as I really enjoyed it. This Bond brought even more fans to be honest, a younger generation. I purchased my copy for about £12.99 when it was first released from Asda, but it will be much cheaper now.

DVD Description
This 1968 adaptation of the Tolstoy tome is a lavish affair and calculating for inflation, is the most expensive film ever committed to celluloid. This classic Russian tale of love and conflict intertwines the romance between a young countess and her unhappily married lover with the grim battlefields of the 1812 Napoleonic invasion. However director Sergei Bondarchuk’s film covers a much bigger canvas and is rich in meticulous detail and emotional nuance.
