Charlton Heston is a great actor, I like his performance in most of his known films. After his outstanding appearance in "Ben Hur" and also in "The Ten Commandments" there were few more films where he performed very good as a leading role. Khartoum is undoubtedly one of them. The film recreates in detail the era of the British colonialism in Africa.

An excellent movie about the height of the British Empire in Africa. Only slightly Hollywoodized (No battle stops when a major character steps out of his room to join the battle!) Charleton Heston was a perfect choice for the role of 'Chinese' Gordon, Ralph Richardson did a great job portraying PM Gladstone, and Sir Lawrence Olivier did a masterful job as the Mahdi. If you want to gain an insight into the contemporary troubles of the middle east, then watch this movie!
A Classic Charlton Heston Film! Great Actors,Great Film!
