Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings) stars in this action-packed series set in the midst of the desperate missions and battles of the Napoleonic Wars. Adapted from Bernard Cornwell’s bestselling novels, Bean portrays maverick British officer Richard Sharpe who rises through the ranks of Wellington’s army by his own daring deeds and ambition. Fast-moving, hard-hitting adventure, Sharpe brings to the screen all the danger, romance and sheer spectacle of one of the bloodiest periods in English warfare.
15-DVD set includes: Sharpe’s Rifles / Sharpe’s Eagle / Sharpe’s Company / Sharpe’s Enemy / Sharpe’s Honour / Sharpe’s Gold / Sharpe’s Battle / Sharpe’s Sword / Sharpe’s Regiment / Sharpe’s Siege / Sharpe’s Mission / Sharpe’s Revenge / Sharpe’s Justice / Sharpe’s Waterloo / Sharpe the Legend.
Sharpe is the hero of a number of novels by Bernard Cornwell; most, though not all, of the episodes are based on the books. Produced by Celtic Films and Picture Palace Films for the ITV network, the series was shot mainly in Turkey and Crimea, although some filming was also done in England, Portugal and Spain.
Shown on PBS Masterpiece Theatre.
