Summary of A Tale of Two Cities
Charles Dickens's classic tale comes to life in this Golden Globe-nominated, made-for-TV production starring Chris Sarandon in dual roles -- as disillusioned aristocrat Charles Darnay and jaded lawyer Sydney Carton. As the harrowing French Revolution rages on, the love that Sydney and Charles have for the same woman finds them inextricably linked as they both discover, over time, the meaning of sacrifice and true friendship.
