Sharpe's Rifles / Eagle
DVD
Acclaimed actor Sean Bean (Patriot Games) stars in these
two action packed feature-length movies set in the midst of
the desperate missions and battles of the Napoleonic wars in
19th Century Spain.
Based on two of Bernard Cornwellâs best selling novels
SHARPE'S RIFLES and SHARPE'S EAGLE, Bean plays mavarick British
officer Richard Sharpe who has risen through the ranks of Wellingtonâs
army by his courageous and daring exploits. He and his men
operate behind French lines, risking their lives to undermine
Napoleon's forces. Sharpe's lover is the beautiful guerilla
leader Teresa, played by the sultry Assumpta Serna (Wild Orchid).
Fast moving, hard-hitting action adventure filmed on location
in the Crimea, Portugal and England brings to the screen all
the danger, romance and sheer spectacle of one of the bloodiest
periods in English warfare.
