Doctor Zhivago (1965), directed by David Lean, is a sweeping romantic drama set against the turbulent backdrop of the Russian Revolution. Based on Boris Pasternak’s novel, the film follows the life of Yuri Zhivago, a physician and poet whose idealistic dreams are torn apart by war and political upheaval. Featuring memorable performances by Omar Sharif and Julie Christie, Doctor Zhivago captures both the intimate struggles of its characters and the grand, chaotic scope of history, making it one of the classic epics of 20th-century cinema.

The score for Doctor Zhivago, composed by Maurice Jarre, is widely celebrated for its emotional depth and iconic melodies, especially the haunting "Lara’s Theme." Jarre's music blends sweeping orchestral passages with delicate, lyrical moments, perfectly mirroring the romance and tragedy of the story. The soundtrack not only enhances the film’s emotional resonance but also stands as a beloved piece of film music in its own right, earning Jarre an Academy Award and solidifying his reputation as one of the great composers of the era.
