Synopsis
Filmed in 1896 by the Lumière brothers, this short actuality captures a dramatic cavalry charge by cuirassiers — heavily armed horsemen in traditional military uniforms. The riders gallop across open ground directly toward the camera, creating an energetic and imposing image that thrilled early audiences with its sense of motion and spectacle.
