- Synopsis:
- "The Great" is a satirical, comedic drama about the rise of Catherine the Great (Elle Fanning). From creator and Academy Award Nominated writer Tony McNamara, comes a fictionalised, fun and anachronistic story of an idealistic, romantic young girl who honours an arranged marriage to the mercurial Russian Emperor Peter (Nicholas Hoult). Instead of love and sunshine, she finds a dangerous, depraved and backward world. Catherine becomes driven to change Russia and fulfill her destiny as the longest-reigning female ruler in Russia's history. All she has to do is kill her husband, beat the church, baffle the military and get the court on her side.
