Synopsis

This epic love story is set in Russia during the early part of the 20th century, when revolution and war changed the face of the nation. Omar Sharif plays the title's doctor, an aspiring poet who befriends the beautiful Lara in more peaceful times before the two are thrown together by conflict. Wonderfully acted by an outstanding cast, the film notched up ten Oscar nominations, including wins for its sumptuous cinematography and fantastic music-box score. An enthralling cinematic experience.
