War and Peace

After Napoleon's invasion of Austria, Pierre Bezukhov inherits his father's fortune; Prince Andrei Bolkonsky goes off to war, leaving his pregnant wife at home; Natasha worries about her brother Nikolai.

Slim success at SChongrabern keeps the French at bay and the Russian army remains safe.

Pierre engages in a duel that changes his life.

Pierre and Andrei fight on the front line of Russia's greatest struggle against Napoleon.

Napoleon outrages the Russian emperor by crossing the border and marching his army towards Moscow. In his path stands Prince Bolkonsky's country estate - but the old prince isn't prepared to let the French through without a fight. Marya is shocked to be placed in terrible danger. Nikolai, meanwhile, is stationed far away from the action, but he gets a chance at glory when he crosses paths with a stranger in distress.

Chaos takes hold as Napoleon marches into Moscow and the Rostovs rush to leave the city. As they hurry away, Natasha is astonished to learn the identity of one of her travelling companions and finds she at last has a chance to make amends. Sonya, meanwhile, comes under pressure from the countess to make a great sacrifice for her family.
