	'''''Breaker Morant''''' is a 1980 Australian war film directed by Bruce Beresford (''[[Double Jeopardy]]'') and based on the well known play of the same name by Australian playwright Kenneth Ross. The film involves the court martial of Lieutenants Harry 'Breaker' Morant ([[Edward Woodward]]), Peter Handcock ([[Bryan Brown]]) and George Ramsdale Witton ([[Lewis Fitz-Gerald]]) . The three officers were Australians serving in the British Army with a special unit called the Bushveldt Carbineers during the The Second Boer War (1899 - 1902), more commonly known as The Boer War. They were charged with the murders of several Boer prisoners of war and a German missionary. Morant and Handcock were found guilty and executed by firing squad on February 27, 1902. Witton served several years in prison and was later released. There is still much controversy surrounding the court martial and Lt. Harry 'Breaker' Morant in particular. Morant was called Breaker because he used to "break" wild horses before joining the army. The movie was shot entirely in Australia.
