A.E.W. Mason's adventure novel has been made into a movie several times, most notably in 1939. Set in 1898, at the height of
Imperial Britain, an officer (Heath Ledger) resigns his command to avoid going with his regiment to the Sudan. Offended by his act of cowardice, his
fellow officers and his fiancée send him four white feathers. To redeem his honor, he disguises himself as an Arab and secretly saves the lives of the
very people who branded him a coward. Also with Wes Bentley, Kate Hudson, Djimon Hounsou and Michael Sheen. Directed by Shekhar Kapur. [2:07- R]
