The appearance of Napoleon in movies has resulted in everything from historical epics to love stories and fantasy epics to madcap comedies. Napoleon Bonaparte was the Emperor of France who earned this role thanks to his success as a military leader as he roared across Europe conquering several countries during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. His success was short-lived, as he ended up in exile, where he died six years after losing his position. As with many famed historical military and political leaders, Napoleon has been used in several movies.

His story, featuring his rise to power, incredible military success, and eventual fall from grace in France, has been told since the silent era of films and as recently as 2023 when Ridley Scott set his sights on telling his story. However, thanks to his diminutive size and the use of the term “Napoleonic complex,” he has also been used as a source of humor in many comedies and fantasy films, including some like Napoleon Dynamite, which uses his name as a joke.

Also coming aboard is Alain Chabat as Napoleon Bonaparte. In the film, Napoleon becomes an ally of Hank Azaria’s Kahmunrah, a pharaoh who is the evil older brother of Rami Malek’s Ahkmenrah. This makes him one of the film’s villains, and he is also there to be the brunt of jokes when Stiller mocks him for his Napoleon complex. Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian received average to below-average reviews.

War and Peace is the Sergei Bondarchuk adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s epic novel, and it was released in four parts totaling 431 total minutes. As a result, it was as dense a film as it was as a novel. Bondarchuk also starred in the movie’s lead role as Pierre Bezukhov, the favorite out of several illegitimate sons of the wealthy nobleman Count Kirill Vladimirovich Bezukhov, one of the richest people in the Russian Empire.
There was a lot of room for Bondarchuk to add in characters and events thanks to the seven-hour running time, and this included Napoleon Bonaparte. Vladislav Strzhelchik stars in the movie as Napoleon. The first part sees the War of the Third Coalition against Napoleon ongoing and by the third part, Napoleon has invaded Russia. This leads to the big moment in the final part where Pierre attempts to assassinate Napoleon. The film won the Oscar and Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Loosely based on the 1921 based on the nonfiction novel by Hendrik Willem van Loon, The Story of Mankind was a 1957 dark fantasy film that took the real story and added a supernatural twist. In the movie, the Devil (Vincent Price as Mr. Scratch) is the prosecutor in a case to decide the fate of humanity in a court of law. The Spirit of Man acts as the defense attorney. Throughout the trial, historical figures are used to both condemn and fight for humanity’s salvation.
The film has a rough ending as the judge is unable to decide, so humanity has to keep fighting its own struggles on whether it chooses to be good or evil. The most famous stars in the film were the Marx Brothers as Peter Minuit, Isaac Newton, and a Monk. However, a young Dennis Hopper stars as Napoleon, who is called to testify.

Released in 2001, Alan Taylor (Game of Thrones) directed the historical drama The Emperor’s New Clothes. The movie is based on the 1992 novel, The Death of Napoleon by Simon Leys. In the movie, Ian Holm plays Napoleon Bonaparte, his third time taking on the role after Napoleon and Love (1974) and Time Bandits (1981). The plot follows Napoleon’s exile to Saint Helena after his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
The movie starts off in 1821, six years after his exile to Saint Helena when Napoleon has big plans to escape. His plan is to escape to France after switching places with a deckhand and then when he gets there, the deckhand will reveal what happened and Napoleon will reclaim his throne. However, when the deckhand decides not to reveal the truth and dies, Napoleon is a man without an identity in France. The film was mostly a fantasy with the twist that, in this world, Napoleon died of old age under an assumed name.

A more modern take on The Count of Monte Cristo arrived in 2002 with Jim Caviezel taking on the role of Edmond Dantès and Guy Pearce playing his friend Fernand, who betrays him. The story is mostly the same, with Edmond spending 20 years in an island prison run by the vicious Armand Dorléac (Michael Wincott). Much like in the original, when Edmond escapes, he takes on the role of a Count and seeks revenge.

The arrest was similar, with Edmond and Fernand going to an island to find help for their ill captain, only to find Napoleon Bonaparte exiled there. Napoleon asks Edmond to deliver a letter for him in exchange for helping the captain, but when Fernand sees this, he turns over his friend who is imprisoned. Alex Norton stars as Napoleon in a small role at the start of the film. The film received mostly positive reviews with praise going to Pearce and Caviezel for their performances.

A lesser-known movie with Napoleon Bonaparte in a key role is Waterloo, released in 1970. This epic war film is based on the Battle of Waterloo, the historical battle that saw Napoleon finally lose. Co-produced by Italy and the Soviet Union, with United States producer Dino De Laurentis leading things, Sergei Bondarchuk (War and Peace) took another shot at directing a movie about Napoleon Bonaparte.
In this release, Rod Steiger stars as Napoleon, while Christopher Plummer takes on the role of the Duke of Wellington. Orson Welles also has a small role as Louis XVIII. The movie was praised by critics for its lush and impressive battle scenes, which were all shot on location in Ukraine. It went on to win the BAFTAs for Best Costume Design and Best Art Direction. Both Steiger and Plummer received praise as well, with both actors delivering narration voice-overs and revealing the battle leaders’ thoughts.

Monsieur N. is another movie that follows Napoleon Bonaparte after his exile. It is also another fictional tale that supposes that Napoleon never died on the island but instead escaped, and someone else was buried in his place. Philippe Torreton stars as Napoleon in this telling of his exile and escape while Richard E. Grant plays Hudson Lowe, the governor of Saint Helena.
As mentioned, this movie was another in a long line of stories that assumed that Napoleon not only planned out an escape from Saint Helena but also succeeded and was able to live out his life in peace with the world believing he was dead. The big difference is that this movie never had him wanting to retake his throne and instead had him choosing to live his life with a new bride in hiding in the United States.

Napoleon and his brother Joseph meet Désirée Clary, and while Napoleon falls for her, his brother falls for her sister, Julie. However, while Napoleon proposes to Désirée, she soon learns he is also engaged to Joséphine de Beauharnais, and she instead marries Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte. However, she is never able to get completely out of Napoleon’s life as he rises in power and becomes more dangerous. The story spans over 20 years and asks what could have happened if Napoleon had made different choices.

Similar to Night at the Museum, this film sees the real Napoleon in a modern-day setting, but this time using time travel. Bill and Ted are two slacker best friends who are trying to pass high school history and find a phone booth that can help them travel to the past to learn history first hand.
However, when Bill and Ted‘s historical figures come to the present day with the time machine, they begin to run rampant, and Bill and Ted have to stop them while also learning enough to pass their high school finals. Terry Camilleri stars as Napoleon, the firs historical figure to get displaced in time and the man whose actions convince Bill and Ted to bring in people like Billy the Kid, Socrates, Sigmund Freud, Beethoven, Joan of Arc, Genghis Khan, and Abraham Lincoln.

The film mostly picks up during the final years of the Marquis’ incarceration in the asylum at Charenton. Geoffrey Rush stars as the Marquis, while Kate Winsley is Maddie LeClerc. Joaquin Phoenix and Michael Caine also co-star in the film, which picked up three Oscar nominations.
Ron Cook stars as Napoléon Bonaparte. His role in the story was as the emperor at the time who ordered all copies of the novel Justine to be burned and the author executed. Of course, the author was the Marquis de Sade, and it is Napoleon’s advisor, Delbené, who convinces him to have de Sade institutionalized instead to silence him. Rush earned an Oscar nomination for his performance and the National Board of Review named it the best film of 2000.

In his second of three times to play Napoleon Bonaparte, Ian Holm took on the role in the fantasy adventure movie Time Bandits, Terry Gilliam directs this film about a young boy who goes on an adventure through time travel with a band of thieves who set out to capture treasure from different points in history. Gilliam wrote the script with fellow Monty Python crew member Michael Palin, and the movie was financed by George Harrison of the Beatles, who was a huge Monty Python fan.
Since the thieves travel through time to steal treasure, Time Bandits had several cameos from different timeframes including Robin Hood and Napoleon Bonaparte. As mentioned, Holm played Napoleon two other times (once in the TV movie Napoleon and Love and later in The Emperor’s New Clothes). While Napoleon’s role here was small, it was still a memorable appearance in one of the best movies of Gilliam’s impressive directorial career.

Director
Abel Gance
The best movie about Napoleon Bonaparte was the silent movie simply called Napoleon. Released in 1927, the film did so much that is taken for granted in cinema today but was revolutionary at the time. While most movies in the 1920s were shot with static shots, director Abel Gance allowed his camera to move while also using fast cutting, close-ups, and even hand-held shots to tell the story of Napoleon’s early years.
Albert Dieudonné plays Napoléon, with the story starting in his early years when he attended a military school for sons of nobility. After this sequence, it moves on to his rise in the military with the French Revolution and his marriage to Josephine, and it ends with him taking control of the troops and showing that he is the leader they all need to march into war. This shows the rise and power of Napoleon, but the film chooses not to bother with his eventual downfall, making him a hero of this silent film.
