He orders Lieutenant <a href="/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_(fictional_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Sharpe (fictional character)">Richard Sharpe</a> and his band of "chosen men" to accompany the arrogant, incompetent, newly arrived <a href="/wiki/Sir_Henry_Simmerson" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Henry Simmerson">Sir Henry Simmerson</a> and his <a href="/wiki/South_Essex_Regiment" title="South Essex Regiment">South Essex Regiment</a> on a mission to destroy a bridge vital to French troop movements. Simmerson, his nephew Lieutenant Gibbons and Lieutenant Berry despise Sharpe for his low birth. However, Major Lennox, who knows Sharpe from their days in India, and American-born Captain Leroy appreciate his military expertise. </p><p>The bridge is taken without resistance and Sharpe's men start to place explosives. When Simmerson spots a small French patrol on the other side of the river, he orders Lennox to take a small detachment and drive them off. Lennox strenuously objects, but obeys the command. His fears are realised when a hidden French cavalry unit overruns the British; Lennox is fatally wounded and the <a href="/wiki/Regimental_Colour" class="mw-redirect" title="Regimental Colour">King's colours</a> are lost. Sharpe and his men go to the rescue, while Simmerson panics and orders the bridge to be blown up, even though some of his men are still on the other side. Afterwards, the dying Lennox asks Sharpe for a <a href="/wiki/French_Imperial_Eagle" title="French Imperial Eagle">French Imperial Eagle</a> to wash away the shame of losing the colours. </p><p>Wellesley promotes Sharpe to captain for his part in the skirmish, instead of Gibbons (though he cannot guarantee that Sharpe will be able to keep his new rank). Enraged, Simmerson tells Berry to dispose of Sharpe. Berry deliberately provokes Sharpe by abusing Countess Josefina, a woman Sharpe had rescued from Gibbons and taken under his protection. To forestall a duel, Wellesley orders a night patrol to be led by Sharpe and Berry. They run into the French; during the fighting, Berry shoots Sharpe from behind, but is killed by Harper before he can finish the job. </p><p>The next day, the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Talavera" title="Battle of Talavera">Battle of Talavera</a> is fought. Simmerson, seeing a French column approaching his position, flees. Sharpe steadies the South Essex, much improved by his training, and leaves them under the command of Leroy. They succeed in stopping the French attack. At just the right moment, Sharpe and his riflemen attack the wavering French soldiers in the flank, sending them into headlong retreat. Sharpe captures the unit's Eagle, making him famous throughout Britain and ensuring that he remains a captain. </p><p>Afterwards, Sharpe plants the Eagle on Lennox's grave. Simmerson is protected by his influential friends and escapes punishment. Meanwhile, Josefina finds a new protector in Captain Leroy. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sharpe%27s_Eagle_(TV_programme)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Sean_Bean" title="Sean Bean">Sean Bean</a> as <a href="/wiki/Richard_Sharpe_(fictional_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Richard Sharpe (fictional character)">Richard Sharpe</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Daragh_O%27Malley" title="Daragh O'Malley">Daragh O'Malley</a> as Sergeant <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Harper_(fiction)" class="mw-redirect" title="Patrick Harper (fiction)">Patrick Harper</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Assumpta_Serna" title="Assumpta Serna">Assumpta Serna</a> as <a href="/wiki/Teresa_Moreno" class="mw-redirect" title="Teresa Moreno">Comandante Teresa Moreno</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Brian_Cox_(actor)" title="Brian Cox (actor)">Brian Cox</a> as Major Michael Hogan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/David_Troughton" title="David Troughton">David Troughton</a> as <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Wellesley,_1st_Duke_of_Wellington" title="Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington">Lord Wellington</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Michael_Cochrane" title="Michael Cochrane">Michael Cochrane</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sir_Henry_Simmerson" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Henry Simmerson">Sir Henry Simmerson</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Martin_Jacobs&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Martin Jacobs (page does not exist)">Martin Jacobs</a> as <a href="/wiki/William_Lawford" class="mw-redirect" title="William Lawford">Colonel Lawford</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Katia_Caballero&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Katia Caballero (page does not exist)">Katia Caballero</a> as Countess Josefina</li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Michael_Mears&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Michael Mears (page does not exist)">Michael Mears</a> as Rifleman Francis Cooper</li> <li><a href="/wiki/John_Tams" title="John Tams">John Tams</a> as <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Hagman" class="mw-redirect" title="Daniel Hagman">Rifleman Daniel Hagman</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jason_Salkey" title="Jason Salkey">Jason Salkey</a> as <a href="/wiki/Sergeant_Harris" class="mw-redirect" title="Sergeant Harris">Rifleman Harris</a></li> <li><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lyndon_Davies&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Lyndon Davies (page does not exist)">Lyndon Davies</a> as Rifleman Ben Perkins</li> <li>Paul Trussell as Rifleman Isaiah Tongue</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gavan_O%27Herlihy" title="Gavan O'Herlihy">Gavan O'Herlihy</a> as <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Leroy" class="mw-redirect" title="Thomas Leroy">Captain Leroy</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/David_Ashton_(actor)" title="David Ashton (actor)">David Ashton</a> as Major Lennox</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Neil_Dudgeon" title="Neil Dudgeon">Neil Dudgeon</a> as Lieutenant Gibbons</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Daniel_Craig" title="Daniel Craig">Daniel Craig</a> as Lieutenant Berry</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nolan_Hemmings" title="Nolan Hemmings">Nolan Hemmings</a> as Ensign Denny</li> <li>Paul Bigley as Dobbs</li></ul> <p>It was David Troughton's second and last appearance as Sir Arthur Wellesley; due to illness, he was replaced by <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Fraser_(actor)" title="Hugh Fraser (actor)">Hugh Fraser</a>.

An incomplete list follows: </p> <ul><li>In the novel, Sharpe brings with him a force of thirty riflemen to the South Essex, who remain with him throughout the course of the books. In the film, this number is trimmed down significantly, as only the Chosen Men and Sgt. Harper are featured.</li> <li>The character of Teresa had yet to be introduced by the time <i>Sharpe's Eagle</i> was written, appearing in the subsequent <i>Sharpe's Gold</i>. In the film, Teresa is present throughout many events of the plot, and the relationship between Sharpe and Josefina is scrapped as a result.</li> <li>The character of Captain Thomas Leroy is significantly different in the film, adding in a subplot that he made his fortune as a slave-trader. The Leroy in the novel has no connection with slave-trading.</li> <li>The bridge at <a href="/wiki/Valdelacasa" title="Valdelacasa">Valdelacasa</a> is an old Roman stone bridge in the novel, rather than the wooden one in the film. The battle that takes place there is also heavily altered; the Spanish take no part in the fighting, the battle between the South Essex and the French dragoons is of a much smaller scale, with only a few dozen men participating rather than hundreds on each side, and Sharpe's capture of the French cannon was written out.</li> <li>In the book, Gibbons is killed by Harper at Talavera when he attacks Sharpe, whereas in the film he flees with Simmerson and survives. The death of Berry in the film is an amalgamation of the deaths of Gibbons and Berry from the book: The novel has Sharpe luring Berry off to a secluded spot under the cover of a French attack and stabbing him through the throat with his sword.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sharpe%27s_Eagle_(TV_programme)&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: References"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.bbfc.co.uk/releases/sharpe-sharpes-eagle-1993-1">"SHARPE - SHARPE'S EAGLE"</a>. <i><a href="/wiki/British_Board_of_Film_Classification" title="British Board of Film Classification">British Board of Film Classification</a></i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
