''Film/TheLastValley'' (1971) starring MichaelCaine, OmarSharif and a young BrianBlessed. The score by JohnBarry is awesome.
The story is set during the ThirtyYearsWar, where OmarSharif plays a teacher trying to survive in war-torn Germany. He witnesses a mercenary company led by Captain MichaelCaine sack a village and flees blindly into the wilderness, where he stumbles upon a remote and hidden village. The mercenaries follow him, but as they are about to sack the village, Sharif makes a proposition to The Captain: why not spare the village and wait out the winter? Everybody wins.
