In the 1850’s, two British officers, Capt. Richard Burton (Patrick Bergin) and Lt. John Speke (Iain Glen), set out on a spectacular adventure to discover the source of the Nile. As the difficult journey takes its toll, Burton and Speke forge a strong bond. A bond that one will eventually betray. Directed by Bob Rafelson, one of the key figures in the New Hollywood movement of the 1970s, and based on the novel 'Burton and Speke' by William Harrison. (Via Vision Entertainment)
