British officer Harry Feversham (Ledger) resigns his post right before a battle against Egyptian rebels in 1898 Sudan.
His friends and fiancée (Hudson) send him four white feathers as a symbol of what they perceive to be his cowardice.
When Feversham discovers his best friend (Bentley) and former regiment are in trouble, he disguises himself as an Arab and sets out on a perilous journey to the Sudan to redeem his honor by saving the lives of those who branded him a coward.
Based on the novel by A.E.W. Mason.
A good Movie, but a bit drawn out I saw the original, but can,t remember the name of the star who play Harry Faversham, can anyone help???
Saw the first version of 4 Feathers. It was one of the best movies I ever saw. Second version around 2002 was not equal to the origional when you consider the "primitive" way movies were made way back when.
loved the four feathers it was such a great film! it was epic and sweeping and confronted allsorts, coawrdice, bravery, religion, romance, it was just...wow.
