In the most well-known adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel, Sydney Carton is an underachieving English barrister who hopes to redeem himself from the litany of poor choices he's made in his life -- such as his unreturned love for Lucie, the wife of a virtuous former French aristocrat . When peasants in post-revolution France take over and systematically dispatch the old guard, Carton's feelings prompt him to risk his life for Lucie's husband.
