From case cover:
War and Peace is a portrait of Russia and her people, caught up in the swirling tides of history during the Napoleonic Era. Director Sergei Bondarchuk's Oscar-winner flawlessly recreates Tolstoy's epic masterpiece, capturing not only the most minute historical details, but also the emotion, essence , and atmosphere of the classic novel. Hailed as the definitive marriage between literature and film, it took five years to complete, costing over one hundred million dollars. It is estimated that a film of this magnitude would cost over one billion dollars today, making this the most expensive film ever made.
