Sharpe's Honour is the fifth TV movie based on the Sharpe series, and was filmed in 1994.
Synopsis[]
The French are on the run in Spain. Major Ducos engineers a diplomatic incident to split the English-Spanish alliance. Sharpe is at the centre of this incident, putting his life and honour at stake. False accusations of adultery propel Sharpe into a duel over a woman he has never even met. Duels are forbidden in Wellington's army, and it is only the wily Major Nairn that keeps Sharpe from a court martial. Butwhen Sharpe's Spanish opponent is later murdered in cold blood, even Nairn can't save him. A courtmartial is held, and Sharpe is condemned to hang.
