As the Russian cavalry prepares to launch a full-scale attack to seize Balaclava, the British find themselves in desperate straits. Dangerously outnumbered, they are hoping for reinforcements, but in the meantime they must hold their ground, calling for heroism that will test the courage of even the bravest man. After his well-earned promotion has been blocked by the vicious, deathbed slander of the Trojan's captain, Phillip Hazard is appointed naval liaison officer for the British Army. Dodging bursting shells and Russian Cossacks, Hazard proves that the bluejackets fight as well on land as they do at sea. (features the charge of the Light and Heavy Brigades) |
