Starring Reese Witherspoon and directed by Mira Nair, this historical drama is an adaptation of Thackeray's classic 1848 novel. Witherspoon plays Becky Sharp, a plucky social climber in early 19th-century England.

The scheming Becky is contrasted with her sweet-natured best friend, Amelia Sedley (Romola Garai).
