Abandoned early in life, Oliver first seems doomed to life in a workhouse, where he is farmed out to a local undertaker and regularly is underfed and mistreated. Hoping to improve his lot in life, Oliver runs away to London, where he falls in with a gang of petty criminals led by Fagin (Ben Kingsley) and a young pickpocket, the Artful Dodger (Harry Eden). Oliver’s new life seems happier, until he meets Mr. Brownlow (Edward Hardwicke), who sees Oliver’s true character and potential and seems determined to sway destiny. (Independent Cinema Office)
