In a bold new feature version of Jane Eyre, director Cary Joji Fukunaga and screenwriter Moira Buffini infuse a contemporary immediacy into Charlotte Bronts timeless, classic story.
Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender star in the iconic lead roles of the romantic drama, the heroine of which continues to inspire new generations of devoted readers and viewers.
In the 19th Century-set story, Jane Eyre suddenly flees Thornfield Hall, the vast and isolated estate where she works as a governess for Adle Varens, a child under the custody of Thornfields brooding master, Edward Rochester.
The imposing residence and Rochesters own imposing nature have sorely tested her resilience. With nowhere else to go, she is extended a helping hand by clergyman St. John Rivers and his family.
As she recuperates in the Rivers Moor House and looks back upon the tumultuous events that led to her escape, Jane wonders if the past is ever truly past
