Drought and famine have been rough on the people in 19th-century rural India. The lagaan (land tax) imposed by the oppressive British will further devastate the people, so a delegation is sent to ask for relief from the tax. The derisive British will do so under one condition: win a cricket match. This will be tough, since the sport is foreign to the native people, but the challenge is accepted despite the fact that the tax will be tripled if the British win. A fun film with good Indian music and it received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign-Language film.
