Drama starring Ralph Fiennes and Kate Winslet (in a BAFTA, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning performance), based on the novel by Bernard Schlink. Set in post World War II Germany, the story revolves around a teenage boy Michael Berg (David Kross) who falls ill with scarlet fever and is helped home by Hanna (Winslet), a stranger twice his age. When Michael recovers, he tracks Hanna down in order to thank her for her kindness. Despite their age difference, the two embark on an intense and secret affair that is based largely on Michael reading aloud to Hanna, until Hanna suddenly and mysteriously disappears one day, leaving Michael confused and heartbroken. Several years later, when Michael (Fiennes) is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he comes across Hanna again - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a secret that profoundly affects both their lives.

As a baby, Tommy (Eric Idle) was accidentally left behind at a wild London party by his very wealthy family, to be raised by a very poor Asian family. He grows up to find that not only is he the heir to the Duke of Bournemouth, but that his American cousin Henry (Rick Moranis) has inherited everything. As if that wasn't bad enough his real mother (Barbara Hershey) unwittingly tries to seduce him, while his true love Kitty (Catherine Zeta Jones) only wants to marry Henry.
