Based on the novel by Jay Parini, "The Last Station" recounts the drama of a final year in the life of the great Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy. It is a true story, both dramatic and humorous, that covers the themes of passion, love, family, greed, intrigue, conflict, and revolution. Having renounced his title and property, Tolstoy (Plummer) makes plans to donate his royalties to the Russian people, supported by his trusted disciple Chertkov (Giamatti). Tolstoy's outraged wife (Mirren) wages a one-woman war to challenge her husband's extreme act of idealism. (Gary Reber)
