Napoleon Bonaparte (Armand Assante), the brilliant general who leads France from chaos to become the most powerful nation in Europe, controls the fate of a continent as he commands a seemingly unstoppable army.

But after her death, his victories turn to defeat, and one of the mightiest empires in history crumbles.
