14 minutes to see a nobody become the Emperor of Europe. No biggie.
It was during this siege that young Napoleon Bonaparte first won fame and promotion when his plan, involving the capture of fortifications above the harbour, was credited with forcing the city to capitulate and the Anglo-Spanish fleet to withdraw.
Direction
Tight storytelling for a 14-minute siege.
Production
Decent reconstructions for micro-budget history.

Napoleon was 24 and a mere captain at Toulon—he'd be emperor within eleven years.
The 'Little Corporal' nickname that dogged him? Actually started here as mockery for his artillery background.
