The kind of lavish, rousing historical adventure spectacle that doesn't seem to exist anymore, Khartoum is a majestic, star-studded, BAFTA and Oscar-nominated epic that finds director Basil Deardon ( Victim) delivering a feast for the eyes, as well as a pointed study of English colonialism, reIigious fanaticism, and the nature of heroism and sacrifice.
ln 1880s Sudan, thousands of British-led Egyptian troops are massacred by the forces of Arab fanatic Muhammad Ahmad (Sir Laurence OIivier), who believes he is the Mahdi, and nothing less than Mohammed's chosen warrior in battIing against Anglo-Egyptian ruIe. Legendary Major General CharIes George Gordon (Charlton Heston) is sent by Prime Minister William GIadstone (Ralph Richardson) to save the city of Khartoum from the Mahdi, but given onIy one aide (Richard Johnson), limited support from the British government that sent him there, and a fearIess opponent determined to create a new empire, Gordon sees that further bIoodshed is imminent.
With impressive battIe sequences given greater weight by philosophical and moraI debates about the righteousness of miIitary action, Khartoum is a widescreen extravaganza and was the finaI film to be shot using Ultra Panavision 70 (and screened theatricalIy in Cinerama) until Quentin Tarantino s The Hateful Eight in 2015.
