Based on real events of suicidal charge of the British cavalry.
A chronicle of events that led to the British involvement in the Crimean War against Russia and famous charge of the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava.
The famous (or infamous) charge is pictured as heroic, but disastrous cavalry charge made by the British Light Brigade against a Russian artillery battery as an example of blind obeying the orders, but historical sources suggest that in fact the charge might have been a result of misunderstanding.
