Sean Bean returns to reprise the role of Sharpe in this feature length episode. This is the full 138 minute version. It's based on a trilogy of books by Bernard Cornwell set before Sharpe becomes an officer. However, to cope with the fact that all the actors are a good bit older now, the plot is cleverly rewritten for TV to be set later in Sharpe's life. The whole programme is beautifully filmed on location in India. 





This is the 138 minute drama only. No documentary is included.





In 1803 India, Sergeant Sharpe (Sean Bean) leads a patrol to an East India Company outpost. He arrives shortly before another supposedly friendly group of soldiers led by Major William Dodd (Toby Stephens). In a treacherous surprise attack, Dodd has his men kill the entire garrison, leaving no one alive, and makes off with the payroll. The wounded Sharpe is left for dead.





Fourteen years later, Sharpe, now a farmer in France, is summoned by the Duke of Wellington (Hugh Fraser) to his London home[1] to undertake one more mission for him, to find a man in India. The missing agent was trying to learn the identity of a turncoat officer advising a rebellious Maratha rajah. Sharpe refuses, unwilling to press his luck any further, until he learns that the agent is his old comrade in arms and best friend, Patrick Harper (Daragh O'Malley).





Sharpe sets out for India. On his way to report to General Burroughs (Peter Symonds), he passes a group of soldiers accompanying Celia Burroughs (Lucy Brown), the general's attractive daughter. After a short conversation with her, he rides on ahead. He is soon attacked by marauders, but is rescued by Patrick Harper, who shows up just in time with his signature 7-barrel gun.





But Celia Burroughs' escort had in the meantime also been attacked by none other than William Dodd; she is captured and taken to the fortress of Khande Rao (Karan Panthaky), the nominal leader of the revolt. However, he is not yet of age and is under the influence of a regent, his late father's favourite concubine, Madhuvanthi (Padma Lakshmi), and her lover, now General William Dodd, who plan to kill Rao before he declares his majority.





Sharpe reaches the encampment of General Burroughs, who is preparing to lay siege to the fortress of Ferraghur. The General is lamentably incapacitated by illness, and, worse, command has passed to an old foe of Sharpe's, the cowardly General Sir Henry Simmerson (Michael Cochrane), who has refused to act without orders and reinforcements from Agra. The resourceful Sharpe requests permission to infiltrate the enemy fortress, and Simmerson is only too happy to allow Sharpe to risk his life on a dangerous mission.





Sharpe and Harper, posing as deserters, are welcomed into the fortress by the rebels, where Sharpe makes the acquaintance of former French Colonel Gudin (Aurélien Recoing), a fellow veteran of the Battle of Waterloo two years earlier, who has been hired to train the rebels.........................................
