English Summary:

A Christmas Carol is a 1999 British-American made-for-television film adaptation of Charles Dickens' famous novel A Christmas Carol that was first televised December 5, 1999 on TNT. It was directed by David Jones and stars Patrick Stewart as Ebenezer Scrooge and Richard E. Grant as Bob Cratchit. The film was produced after Patrick Stewart performed a series of successful theatrical readings of A Christmas Carol on Broadway and in London.

On Christmas Eve in 1843, Ebenezer Scrooge, a surly money-lender at a counting house, does not share the merriment of Christmas. He declines his nephew Fred's invitation to join him for Christmas dinner and dismisses two gentlemen collecting money for charity. His loyal employee Bob Cratchit offers Scrooge to have Christmas off since there will be no business for Scrooge during the day and Scrooge accepts, but demands that Cratchit arrive "all the earlier" the following day. In his house, Scrooge encounters the ghost of his deceased business partner Jacob Marley, who warns him to repent his wicked ways or he will be condemned in the afterlife like he was, informing him that three spirits will visit him during the next three nights.

Hungarian Summary:

Az évek során Ebenezer Scrooge morózussága állandó állapottá vált. A férfit mára már a pénzen kívül semmi sem érdekli, még karácsonykor is csak a nagyobb bevétellel hajlandó foglalkozni. Ennek issza meg a levét Bob Cratchit is, aki hiába dolgozik remekül Scrooge-nak már évek óta, a szívtelen férfi egy apró botlás miatt ezen a napon kirúgja. Scrooge így egyedül marad irodájában és különös dolgok kezdenek vele történni.
