* ''Film/{{Waterloo}}'': Depicts Napoleon's return from his first exile, his attempts to defeat the coalition of allies against him, and the climactic battle at Waterloo. Included the use of over ''17,000'' extras, (15,000 Red Army soldiers as infantry, and over 2,000 trained horsemen) to give the scenes the epic scope required. It is often said, only half jokingly, that during filming director Sergei Bondarchuk commanded one of the largest armies in the world.

This is a subtrope of TheEpic in which the course of an actual military campaign in some combination of RealLife or traditional history is the main subject. Because of this, the plot, setting, and characters will come pre-constructed. This decreases flexibility but saves work for the author, though he still has enough to do. It is written from an authorial omniscience perspective and shows the viewpoint of one HistoricalDomainCharacter after another on both sides. It has the advantage that these are usually written about a real battle. This type leans heavily on special effects.
