Napoleon's abdication and his exile to Elba: his dramatic escape, his
reunion with his devoted troops and their generals. His last, desperate
bid for ultimate power and glory so narrowly defeated on the bloody
fields of Waterloo
Waterloo is a film on the epic scale with a cast to match. Rod Steiger,
Christopher Plummer, Orson Wells and Jack Hawkins all contribute fine
portraits of great men against a magnificent backdrop of battle and bloodshed.
