The Scarlet Pimpernel

Feature Film

British aristocrat Sir Percy Blakeney (Anthony Andrews, The King's Speech, Brideshead Revisited) appears to be a vain and shallow man, but, in the guise of his alter ego, the Scarlet Pimpernel, he is a courageous swordsman. As the Pimpernel, Blakeney works to free Gallic nobility from death during the fervor of the French Revolution. However, Blakeney's life of luxury with his beautiful bride, Marguerite (Jane Seymour, Harry Wild, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman), is threatened when the French send sinister operative Chauvelin (Sir Ian McKellen, Lord of the Rings films) to stop the Pimpernel at any cost.
