Winner of an astounding nine Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress, The English Patient is the sweeping World War II romantic epic that's being compared to such legendary films as Casablanca and Doctor Zhivago. After a badly burned pilot (Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes) is pulled from the wreckage of his plane in the Sahara Desert, he's placed in the care of an army nurse (Oscar winner Juliette Binoche) and identified only as "The English Patient". As his memory slowly returns, a passionate and consuming love affair with a married woman (Oscar nominee Kristin Scott Thomas) is unveiled, and lives from both the past and the present become inextricably altered. Set against breath-taking backdrops in North Africa and Italy, The English Patient is a riveting cinematic masterpiece that stirs the heart and touches the soul like no other film in years.
