Jonny Lee Miller, Natasha Little and Vanessa Redgrave star in this BBC adaption of the story of Lord Byron, the greatest romantic poet of his age, whose life was even more adventurous and scandalous than the heroes of his epic poems. A wildly successful poet, notorious lover, political radical, wit and foreign adventurer, Byron was a figure who defined the romantic spirit of the early 19th Century in the most reckless and brazen terms. At the height of his fame, Byron throws it all away in a scandal that ultimately forced him to flee the country. The film is not rated and 150 minutes.
