Sharpe's Peril
DVD 2 x 90 minute films, plus extra features
Sean Bean returns as hero of the hour Richard Sharpe in a new adventure set in the heat and dust of 19th century India. Sharpe’s Peril, an epic adventure starring Sean Bean (Outlaw, North Country, Lord of the Rings, Troy) and written by Russell Lewis (Sharpe’s Challenge, Murphy’s Law, Inspector Morse).
Sharpe’s Peril takes up where Sharpe’s Challenge left off. Sharpe and Harper are on their way to Calcutta, when they come upon an East India Company baggage train. The party travels warily through enemy territory. Its leaders fear Chitu, the legendary bandit who controls the area. When the attack happens, Sharpe has to take over and lead the party 300 miles through enemy territory, training up the ill assorted group into proper soldiers.
Sean Bean is joined once again by Daragh O’Malley (Waking the Dead, Wire in the Blood) as Sharpe’s best friend Sgt Patrick Harper in this bloody enterprise filmed entirely in India. Also starring Raza Jaffrey (Spooks, Mistresses), Luke Ward Wilkinson (Wild at Heart), Beatrice Rosen (The Dark Knight, Charmed) and SHARPE regular Michael Cochrane as Sir Henry Simmerson.
