About

Synopsis

Sharpe's Challenge (2006) is a British historical action TV film you can watch online on iFILM — Sean Bean returning as rifleman Richard Sharpe, this time bound for India two years after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.

A Rajasthani maharaja is moving against British interests in 1817, and the Duke of Wellington sends Sharpe to assess the threat on the ground. Things are worse than advertised: a general's daughter has been kidnapped, rebel sentiment is building across Rajasthan, and the regent Madhuvanthi (Padma Lakshmi) has an agenda of her own for the English soldier. Toby Stephens co-stars as the primary antagonist.

Director Tom Clegg filmed the entire production on location in India — a visual scale the Sharpe series hadn't reached before. Stream Sharpe's Challenge (2006) online on iFILM.
