Synopsis
Sharpe's Sword (1995) — a military adventure TV film based on Bernard Cornwell's novel — is available to watch online on iFILM. Director Tom Clegg shot it on location in Portugal with Daragh O'Malley and John Tams alongside Sean Bean as Major Richard Sharpe. The mission: shield the identity of El Mirador, Britain's most valuable spy operating along the French-Spanish border in 1813.
Sharpe captures the French colonel sent by Napoleon to hunt El Mirador down — but the man escapes, and in the chaos Sharpe's sword shatters and he is left for dead. A mute girl who survived a massacre nurses him back. Sergeant Harper forges a replacement blade, and Sharpe rises again. Of all the Sharpe entries, this one lingers on what war costs rather than the thrill of it. Stream Sharpe's Sword (1995) online on iFILM.
