Set in the decadent 1920s, the story follows Yale graduate and former soldier Nick Carraway (Sam Waterston) as he begins a new life in New York. While there, he becomes intrigued by the life of his neighbour, Jay Gatsby (Robert Redford), a self-made, hedonistic millionaire, who rekindles his affair with the now unhappily married Daisy (Mia Farrow). Becoming involved in Gatsby's social circle, Nick bears witness to their intense relationship which ultimately results in tragedy. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
