Things are hotting up! Less than 6 days to go! So here's some rousing music to suit. Click the link below & if you have sound on your computer the film music from a famous battle sequence should start. http://www.lescroupiersrunningclub.org.uk/storage/multimedia-files/FilmTheme25.mp3So here's the quiz... Which noughties film is it? Who directed it? Who wrote the music? Which actor played the main role? What was the battle sequence depicted? Very best of luck to all the runners, organisers, & supporters! Edited by user 05 July 2015 21:17:57(UTC)

OK, the battle depicted in the film is: The Battle of Zama, fought around October 19, 202 BC, marked the end of the Second Punic War. A Roman army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (Scipio) defeated a Carthaginian force led by the commander Hannibal. Despite Hannibal possessing numerical superiority, Scipio conceived a strategy to confuse and defeat his war elephants. Scipio's troops then routed the Carthaginian infantry, thanks in part to superior Roman cavalry. Soon after this defeat on their home ground, the Carthaginian senate sued for peace, which was given to them by the Roman Republic on rather humiliating terms, ending the 17-year war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Zama |
