The Captive (1915) (original) (raw)
Cecil B. DeMille's thought-to-be-lost 1915 silent film. During the Balkan Wars, Sonia is left to care for her younger brother Milos and the family farm when older brother Marko goes off to battle. Unable to handle the day-to-day tasks following her brother's death, help comes in the form of Mahmud Hassan a captured Turk nobleman now a prisoner of war. Tasked with helping Sonia, their initial frosty relationship soon melts into love. As the war rages on Sonia, Mahmud and Milos will face near-insurmountable obstacles in their quest for a better life amidst the hell of war.
