'The Duellists' is a 1977 classic Napoleonic Wars history movie by Ridley Scott.
The story is based around Joseph Conrad's 1908 novella, 'The Duel'.
Two French Hussars are at odds with each other during and after the Napoleonic Wars; they fight each other in a series of duels.
The fourth duel is fought between the two main characters;
Armand d'Hubert (played by Keith Carradine) vs. Gabriel Feraud (played by Harvey Keitel).
After some years apart from each other, fate brings the two back together again by chance - much to d'Hubert's dismay.
Feraud once again challenges d'Hubert, and the pair's feud now escalates to almost theatrical proportions when the next duel is arranged to be fought while on horseback; "as a compliment to the cavalry"
Laura reappears in d'Hubert's life just before the duel. Although she had walked out on him unannounced prior to the third duel, she seeks to win back d'Hubert, as her on life has met with dire straits too.
