Napoleon is a spectacle-filled action epic that details the chequered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Joaquin Phoenix.

Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking, orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte's relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine. His visionary military and political tactics are showcased against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.

Ridley Scott’s biopic is ‘an awe-inspiring achievement’ – BBC Culture

Scott's take on Napoleon is distinctively deadpan: a funny, idiosyncratic close-up of the man, rather than a broader, all-encompassing account. - Empire

‘He came from nothing. He conquered everything’ - Ridley Scott (Director)
