IMDb 6.5 Metacritic 49 RT 41%

The Four Feathers has a compelling premise and solid cast, but the critics weren't convinced—and the middling scores tell you why. Skip it tonight unless you're a completist for colonial-era adventure films or have serious nostalgia for this particular adaptation.

Plot

A young British officer resigns his post when he learns of his regiment's plan to ship out to the Sudan for the conflict with the Mahdi. His friends and fiancée send him four white feathers as symbols of what they view as his cowardice. To redeem his honor, he disguises himself as an Arab and secretly saves their lives.

Director: Shekhar Kapur
