Khartoum

In 1884, British General Charles George Gordon finds himself at the forefront of a desperate battle for survival in the Sudanese city of Khartoum. Appointed by Prime Minister William Gladstone to evacuate Egyptians from the region, Gordon defies orders and stays on to protect the city's inhabitants from the invading forces of the Mahdist army, led by Muhammad Ahmed. With the fate of 30,000 lives hanging in the balance, Gordon must use his wits, bravery, and military strategy to hold off the enemy in a battle that will become one of the most infamous in British history.
