The Four Feathers is the fifth film adapted from the novel of A.E.W Mason. The setting is in 1989 in Sundan where a young soldier Harry Faversham decides to leaves his duty after his father’s death. Meanwhile, his regiment ships out to battle the rebels. His demobilizing decision is misunderstood as an act of cowardice. The result is that he gets 4 white feathers - a symbol of cowardice from three friends and his fiancée. To regain honor and love, Harry enters the final challenge: Rescue people from danger and return to England.
A movie that lacks the jingoistic bravura of earlier editions ... but hasn't replaced it with meaningful historical revisionism appropriate to our post-colonial age.
