Sharpe has reason to be happy, he holds his daughter for the first time and is given command of the Light Company again, together with his captaincy. But will his happiness be short lived? But Sharpe is determined to change his luck. And the surest way is to lead the bloody attack on the impregnable fortress town of Badajoz, a road to almost certain death - or unimagined glory

The film was based on a true story. The name of the real ship was S/S Politician. On Feb 5 1941, it sank outside Eriskay, The Outer Hebrides, in bad weather, containing 250,000 bottles of whisky.
