SHARPE'S BATTLE
Major Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) and his loyal band of chosen
men return in SHARPE'S BATTLE. Sharpe is given the task of
preparing the glamorous Royal Irish Company, led by Lord Kiely,
for their first encounter with the enemy.
Previously only used for ceremonial duties, the Company finds
Sharpe a hard taskmaster. Trouble arises amongst the Irish
soldiers when false reports are circulated of a massacre in
Ireland perpetrated by the English. When Lord Kiely begins
a passionate affair with Juanita, the Spanish partisan leader,
the distressed Lady Kiely looks to Sharpe for comfort. Then
Sharpe is led into a French trap and he and the Royal Irish
Company find themselves up against the vicious Brigadier Loup
and seemingly impossible odds.
