Fort Saganne is a 1984 French war film directed by Alain Corneau and starring Gérard Depardieu, Philippe Noiret, Catherine Deneuve, and Sophie Marceau. Based on the 1980 novel of the same name by Louis Gardel, the film is about a soldier of humble beginnings who volunteers for service in the Sahara in 1911. After falling in love with the beautiful young daughter of the regional administrator, he is ordered to go on missions in the desert, where he engages in several successful campaigns and experiences severe loneliness. Later, while on a diplomatic mission to Paris, he has a brief affair with a journalist. Returning to Africa, he leads a gallant defense against a feared sultan and is awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. He returns to his home a national hero and marries the young girl he's not forgotten, but their happiness is interrupted by the onset of World War I.
French Summary:
Peu avant la Première Guerre mondiale, un officier d'origine paysanne combat efficacement les tribus révoltées du Sahara. Malgré ses qualités de courage et d'abnégation, il est considéré comme un parvenu par la « bonne société » qui le méprise et le rejette. Il est envoyé à Paris pour appuyer les demandes de renforts, mais le conflit européen va tout bouleverser.
Hungarian Summary:
A történet helyszíne a Szahara egy eldugott kis helyőrsége valahol Algériában. Főhőse egyszerű, paraszti származású fiatalember, aki egész életében arról álmodozott, hgy a legendás francia idegenlégió tisztje lehessen. Ám Charles Saganne-t az első világháború előestéjén egyszerű közkatonaként helyzik ki Afrikába. Ekkor még nem sejti, hogy itt milyen kalandok és tragédiák sora vár rá a felemelkedéshez vezető úton, melyen többek között a szerelemmel is megismerkedik egy szépséges újságírónővel való viszonya során.
