Bengal Brigade

Plot:
At the end of 1856, in Northeast India's Malakai Pass, British Colonial troops
under the command of Captain Jeffrey Steven Claybourne are staging an attack on
Indian rebels' position. The rebels are part of a major Indian uprising against
the rule of the British East India Company which acts as a sovereign power on
behalf of the British Crown. British colonial troops, formed with local recruits
called Sepoys are divided between soldiers loyal to the British Crown and
mutineers fighting against their former masters. Captain Claybourne has no
reasons to be concerned with the loyalties of the Sepoys under his command. He
is loved and respected by his soldiers, especially after he disobeys retreat
orders and rushes to the aid of a doomed company of Sepoys which is caught in a
meat-grinder during an ill-planned attack. Despite victory, the beloved captain
is court-martialed for disobeying orders and cashiered out of the army. As a
civilian, the ex-captain goes on safari but at one of the safari camps a
mysterious stranger tries to kill him. Eventually, the attacker is identified as
a messenger who spreads the word that the British are stealing the souls of the
Indians. After returning to the city, Claybourne is informed about other
messengers who speak of a prophesy promising British defeat after one hundred
years of British colonial rule. The local Rajah, who's in need of military men
with good command skills, offers the post of general to Claybourne. Invited to
the Rajah's palace for dinner, Claybourne accepts the job. However, the British
officers present at the dinner consider Claybourne a traitor. Seen as a traitor
by the British and not fully trusted by his new Indian royal employer,
Claybourne is caught between a rock and a hard place. To make matters worse, the
Indian Insurrection is in full swing and Indian rebels are massacring all the
white colonists. Claybourne is forced to choose sides.
