Jean Valjean, un paysan condamné à cinq ans de travaux forcés pour avoir volé un pain, sort du bagne de Toulon en 1815 après y avoir passé dix-neuf ans, sa peine initiale ayant été prolongée à cause de ses multiples tentatives d'évasion. Son destin bascule lorsque l'évêque de Digne, Monseigneur Myriel, se dévoue pour lui éviter d'être de nouveau incarcéré à la suite du vol qu'il a perpétré dans sa maison. Dès lors, Jean Valjean va s'évertuer à ne faire que le bien autour de lui au détriment de son propre bonheur.
