penniless after the sudden death of his father, and his sister and mother go to London to seek help from their greedy uncle Ralph (Christopher
Plummer). The uncle's intentions are hardly benevolent, and he tries to break up the family by sending Nicholas to a school run by a cruel, abusive
headmaster. Also with Jamie Bell, Jim Broadbent and Anne Hathaway. Directed by Douglas McGrath. [1:48 - PG]
