The Charge of the Light Brigade

Lavish Crimean War epic about the 27th British Lancers, whose journey begins in India and ends in a windswept Russian valley where 600 men charge a Russian artillery post numbering over 20,000. The action sequences are thunderous, especially the final dramatic charge into certain death.
