Russia at the dawn of the 18th century - a vast, chilling mysterious land, medieval in its character. A country led by a man whose curious, questing spirit is eager to learn all that is new. A monarch who brings his feudal country “kicking and screaming” into the modern world. A shrewd Tsar and a visionary. Statesman, sailor, and shipbuilder. Military leader. A husband and a father. A man who dared to dream the impossible dream, and succeeded. Based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Robert K. Massie. (Via Vision Entertainment)
