The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby  by Charles Dickens
Young Nicholas and his family enjoy a comfortable life, until Nicholas' 
father dies and the family is left penniless. Nicholas, his sister and 
mother venture to London to seek help from their Uncle Ralph, but 
Ralph's only intentions are to separate the family and exploit them. 
Nicholas is sent to a school run by the cruel, abusive and horridly 
entertaining Wackford Squeers. Eventually, Nicholas runs away with 
schoolmate Smike, and the two set off to reunite the Nickleby family.
Enjoy the official trailer from the 2002 movie with its star-studded cast.
