Orphaned and destitute in Victorian London, young Oliver Twist begins life in a drab workhouse before daring to ask for more food—an act that leads him into the corrupt underbelly of the city. He meets the youthful pickpocket, the Artful Dodger, and becomes entangled within Fagin’s gang. Along the way, he encounters dark characters like Bill Sikes and compassionate figures such as Mr. Brownlow and Nancy. Oliver’s quest for identity, belonging, and justice drives the narrative through a tale of hardship, resilience, and redemption.
