Two epic minutes where the French Emperor overcomes the Austro-Russian alliance, although superior in number.

THE Napoleon of Ridley Scott will reenact certain major historical battles of the Napoleonic wars, in stunning decorum, and with a host of extras. Starting with the most prestigious of the Emperor. The Battle of Austerlitz is already revealed in this first extract:

It is December 2, 1805. Just a year after his coronation, the military leader won a decisive confrontation in the German campaign, thanks to his tactical intelligence, developing an ingenious plan to defeat the Russian and Austrian armies, although superior in numbers and weapons, luring them into an ice trap. Joaquin Phoenix, with his merciless air, brings down his arm to complete his brutal strategy. A cold and calculated massacre. Results on the Austro-Russian side: 15,000 dead and wounded, 12,000 prisoners.

Napoleon of Ridley Scottwritten by David Scarpa, will be released in theaters in France on November 22.
