The Duellists is the first film by director Ridley Scott. In 1977 it won the award for "Best First Film" at the Cannes Film Festival.

The film stars Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine. The play is adapted from the novel "The Duel" by Joseph Conrad.

The plot is set during the Napoleonic era and follows the rivalry between two French army officers, Lieutenant Armand d'Hubert and Lieutenant Gabriel Féraud, who become involved in an endless series of duels over the years.

The film is notable for its impressive direction and attention to historical detail. Ridley Scott manages to effectively recreate the atmosphere and conflicts of the period.

However, despite its technical quality, "The Duellists" failed to make much of a commercial impact.

Despite its lack of widespread recognition, the film has been admired for its cinematography and for the performances of Keith Carradine and Harvey Keitel in the lead roles.

The constant tension between the characters and their obsession with honor and pride provide a sense of intrigue throughout the story.
