Bio je najmoćniji čovjek na svijetu Po prvi put ikada, Napoleon, čovjek i legenda, prikazan je na ekranu u svom pravom obličju; kao čovjek sa ljudskim potrebama i željama, prednostima i manama; kao vojnik, političar i vizionar koji se uzdigao iznad običnih smrtnika i transformisao se u mit. Napoleon je prikazan kako manipuliše uz pomoć moći ; kako voli, zavodi i često izdaje žene u svom životu; kako razgovara sa svojom bliskom, zahtjevnom korzikanskom porodicom: kako inspiriše svoje vojnike da postignu najveće uspjehe Prvog Carstva. “Napoleon” ostavlja po strani sve dosadašnje ekranizacije i prvi put predstavlja svog junaka onakvim kakav je bio: kompleksan i kontradiktoran. Provocira nas pitanjima i običnim pretpostavkama. Predstavlja nam Napoleona, poštujući poznate činjenice, a prikazuje ga kao čovjeka čiji život još uvijek traje i koji nas inspiriše i dan danas...
