The Sharpe Collection (Sharpe?s Challenge / Sharpe?s Peril) DVD

Sharpe?s Challenge
Sean Bean is back as the award-winning adventure hero, Sharpe. Two years after the Duke of Wellington crushes Napoleon at Waterloo, there is news from India of a local Maharaja, who is threatening British interests there. Wellington sends Sharpe to investigate on what turns out to be his most dangerous mission to date.

When a beautiful General?s daughter is kidnapped by the Indian warlord, the tension mounts, leaving Sharpe no option but to pursue the enemy right into his deadly lair. Deep in the heart of enemy territory he also has to keep at bay the beautiful but scheming Regent, Madhuvanthi, who is out to seduce him. The fate of an Empire and the life of a General?s daughter lie in one man?s hands?

Sharpe?s Peril
It?s India, 1818 and Lt. Col. Richard Sharpe and Seargeant Major Patrick Harper are travelling across India, escorting the beautiful Marie-Angelique Bonnet to meet her fianc?. While in bandit-plagued badlands, they come across the very dregs of the Crown?s troops, an ill-disciplined rag-tag unit led by boy soldier Beauclare. As Sharpe and company sit down to have dinner with their hosts, the camp comes under attack by the notorious bandit Chitu.

When the dust settles, it becomes apparent there have been many casualties and Sharpe realises that he is the only person now capable of getting this wagon train to the safety of the next army garrison. Little does Sharpe know that the adventure has only just begun and that he has inadvertently stumbled across a massive opium trafficking ring?
