Ben Cross (Chariots of Fire) and Amy Irving (Crossing Delancey) star in this haunting love story set in the India of the British Raj against the spectacular sweep of battle, treachery, and intrigue. Born to British parents but raised as an Indian boy, Ashton Pelham-Martyn returns to India as a young military officer, where he fights both local unrest and the cultural prejudices of Anglo society. Struggling to reconcile his place in two different worlds, he finds happiness with his childhood sweetheart, Indian princess Anjuli (Irving)--but she is promised to marry another man. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the fabled palaces of Bhithor, M.M. Kaye's evocative novel is brought to life in this stunning and lavish production. The all-star cast also features Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings), Omar Sharif (Lawrence of Arabia), Rupert Everett (My Best Friend's Wedding), and Sir John Gielgud (Gandhi). watch
