That's one of those movies that was nominated for an Academy Award, which I actually want to see.

I don't know if you can help me with this, but there was some film about a young raj in India who was the target of an assassination plot by fanatical jihadis.

I'm not sure, but Katherine Hepburn might have starred in it, along with a few other less notable actors.

The only reason I bring this particular film up, is because it was rebroadcast about a week after 9/11 on one of my PBS stations. Personally, I think that the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

There are two scenes in particular: One that involves a relentless suicide charge on the ramparts of a British fort, and the other, which involves the wholesale slaughter of passengers on an Indian train.

I may be conflating several story-lines from completely separate movies, so I'd appreciate some assistance.

Perhaps you could alert some of the movie buffs on FR and ask them if they recognize anything I've just mentioned.

Thanks!
