Napoleon Bonaparte, 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. The man with the strength and ego to proclaim himself emperor falls in love with Josephine de Beauharnais, an older woman with two children. But after her death, his victories turn to defeat, and one of the mightiest empires in history crumbles.
