Summary: This triple feature presents three British dramas: SHACKLETON, LONGITUDE, and SWORD OF HONOUR in one specially priced box set. See individual titles for more details.<BR>SHACKLETON: Charles Sturridge's SHACKLETON depicts the 1914 Antarctic expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton (Kenneth Branagh). Shot on the Arctic Sea, the film follows Shackleton and his crew on their perilous journey through freezing temperatures and over isolated, uncharted terrain. This true story is widely considered to be the greatest survival story in history.<BR>LONGITUDE: In this made-for-television drama, an 18th-century clock maker named Jon Harrison (Michael Gambon) begins what is to become a 40-year task to invent a system for determining longitude at sea with a nautical timepiece. Meanwhile, 200 years in the future, naval officer Rupert Gould (Jeremy Irons) discovers Harrison's neglected chronometers and sets out to restore them. The film is a high seas saga of passion, determination, and discovery presented by A&E and based on the novel by Dava Sobel.<BR>SWORD OF HONOUR: Daniel Craig plays a British soldier torn between his military obligations and his resurgent desires for his beautiful ex-wife. Screenwriter William Boyd adapts Evelyn Waugh's classic World War II story in this gripping Channel 4 drama.
