I would highly recommend reading the story.

I would also highly recommend the Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future director) version starring Ray Winstone, Angelina Jolie, Anthony Hopkins, Robin Wright, John Malkovich. When I saw it in the theatre, it was the most immersive 3D movie I'd even seen. Throughout the whole movie I was given the feeling that I was actually there, in that time period.
I don't recall how much it deviates from the original story, but it was still an excellent movie.
