A look at Communist East Germany in its final decade. The story unfolds in 1982, when the cracks in the repressive police state's facade are beginning to surface. Despite the restrictions, the educated few still enjoy some advantages under the system. The Hoffmans gather often with family and friends for warm dinner parties rich with derisive political banter, live classical music, and spirited discussions, holding out for a better future. But even as Richard has high hopes and strict demands for studious Christian, he hides a passionate double life and shocking secrets that come back to haunt him. Against this tense climate of fear and mistrust, with the secret police lurking ominously in the background, choices are made and actions taken that have devastating repercussions. 那个穿越了上百年的王利发。红茶馆？——三评电视剧《茶馆》。关于一点点诚意和取舍。咱能不拍这么长吗——一评电视剧《茶馆》。失魂落魄的新《茶馆》——二评电视剧《茶馆》。写得好，演得也好。南辕北辙之改编的茶馆。强烈要求“和谐”史诗级巨著《茶馆》。背景音乐巨吵啊！。陈宝国演的‘王利发’。 世纪之交的老北京城，巍巍大清气数将尽，苟延残喘。各方势力相继抬头，救国救亡的队伍中各类投机分子时隐时没。老北京城的一个角落里，王利发（陈宝国 饰）经营的裕泰茶馆见证着时代每一个席位的变化，更收纳了汹涌大潮之下多姿百样的平凡众生相。没落势力的庞太监（张惠中 饰）、松二爷（ 石小满 饰），紧抱时代大腿的宋恩子（梁天 饰）、吴翔子（刘惠 饰），以民族救亡为己任的秦二爷（谢刚 饰），生活在底层的社会渣滓刘麻子（崔杰 饰）。三教九流，世间百态，汹涌的历史洪流之中，一出令人唏嘘不已的悲喜剧…… 本片根据老舍的经典话剧名作改编。
