In Victorian-era Sudan, British officer Harry Faversham (Heath Ledger) resigns his post right before a battle against Mahdi rebels, prompting his fiancée (Kate Hudson) and three friends to give him four white feathers as a symbol of what they perceive to be cowardice. Little do they know Faversham is going undercover and may soon have the chance to redeem himself in their eyes. This classic adventure is based on the novel by A.E.W. Mason.
