Synopsis:
The Last Station recounts the drama of the final year in the life of the great Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy. It is a true story, both dramatic and humorous, that covers the themes of passion, love, family, greed, intrigue, conflict and revolution.

Mirren and Plummer star in this compelling look at the last days of literary icon Leo Tolstoy. Having renounced his title and property, Tolstoy makes plans to donate his royalties to the Russian people, supported by his trusted disciple Chertkov (Giamatti). Tolstoy’s outraged wife wages a one-woman war to challenge her husband’s extreme act of idealism. McAvoy stars as Valentin, the novelist’s worshipful assistant, whose romance with a free-spirited young woman puts Tolstoy’s notion of ideal love to the ultimate test.
