Story Synopsis

Based on the novel by Charles Dickens, Great Expectations is a beguiling new version of the classic coming-of-age story of a young aspiring artist named Finn (Ethan Hawke), as he grows up in a forgotten backwater town in modern-day Florida. There he meets the eccentric Mrs. Dinsmoor (Anne Bancroft) and falls in love with her beautiful, but unattainable niece, Estella (Gwyneth Paltrow). It is also during this time that Finn survives a terrifying run-in with an escaped convict (Robert De Niro)—an encounter that will resonate throughout his life.
