Revolutionary Era
The period of time encompassing the fight between the Great Powers of Europe in the wake of the French Revolution. Do note that we've marked this period to include the Wars of the First and Second Coalitions (1792-1802) which are not always grouped together under the Napoleonic Wars generally.
11 titles · in the order the archive depicts them. A series counts once, regardless of however many of its episodes carry the tag. 3 titles here come through the periods inside this one rather than its own tag, and are counted only because they are set inside these boundaries.

Napoleon
WaterlooThe periods the archive counts as part of the Napoleonic Wars. Their titles are gathered on this page where they are set inside its boundaries. The number represents how many titles in these sub-periods are also directly attached to this period and how many are just inherited rather being directly tagged with the Napoleonic Wars.
Every title set during the Napoleonic Wars, by the decade it came out. A series is placed on the chart by its first season and counts as one title entity.
FilmsSeriesAt the archive’s paceeach bar is the titles released that decade
The median title about the Napoleonic Wars came out in 2002; the median across the rest of the archive, in 2004, so this period’s titles run 2 years earlier. Most over-told: the 1970s, with 3 titles where about 0.3 would be expected.
The gold dashes are how many of this period’s 11 titles each decade would hold if they had been released at the same pace as the other 280 dated titles in the archive. That measures the archive’s own collecting, not the world’s film output, and at these sizes one title moves a bar by a whole step.
The historical people the archive’s titles put on screen in this period, grouped by what they are known for. The number is how many titles set here they appear in.
A thread follows one event or historical theme across the archive, wherever and whenever it appears. Pick a tab to read one; they are in the order they are filed on the timeline. Pulling a thread opens up a narrowed timeline view filtered to every year that thread touches.

Event
The confrontation fought in the shadow of the Pyramids of Giza between the forces of Napoleon's Egyptian expedition and Murad Bey's Mamluk forces under the banner of the Ottoman Empire. The battle was a total victory for the French, securing the way to Cairo and breaking the power of the Mamluk forces in Lower Egypt, though the French defeat at the Battle of the Nile soon after would damper much of its success.

Event
Napoleon's crowning victory over the forces of the Third Coalition in 1805. Through careful selection of the terrain and swift movement of his forces, Napoleon was able to lure coalition forces into a fatal trap. Though the victory and the close of the War of the Third Coalition would not end fighting on the European continent for long, the resulting Peace of Pressburg would have a number of repercussions on the European political landscape, including, ultimately, the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire.

Event
The culmination of Napoleon's Hundred Days Campaign to restore himself to power over the French Empire and resoundingly defeat the forces of the Seventh Coalition. Facing off initially against British forces under the command of Arthur Wellesley, Napoleon's army ultimately failed to defeat the British before Prussian reinforcements under the command of Gebhard von Blücher arrived to firmly turn the tide of battle in the coalition's favor.

Every place the archive’s titles set in this period name, with each one nested under the larger place it sits inside where that place is here too. The number is how many titles set here name it.
No title set here has been given a saltiness score yet. That is unrated, which is not the same as accurate.
57%8 of the 14 titles the archive sets between 1792 and 1815 carry the Napoleonic Wars tag.
79%With its sub-periods: 11 of the same 14 titles carry Napoleonic Wars or one of Peninsular War.
This measure can help illustrate cinematic hotspots within a time period by comparing which years of the overarching, actual historical time period are backed up by a cinematic release.
22 years on the timeline fall inside the boundaries, 2 of them with nothing set there yet. The dark part of each bar is the share carrying this period; the lighter part beside it, the share carrying one of its sub-periods instead.
Films only. Co-directors are counted individually, so a director’s solo work and their collaborations are grouped together. Average saltiness ignores any title still unsalted.
Series only, counted once each however many episodes carry the period. Average saltiness ignores any title still unsalted.
Part of and part of it are declared by the archive: one period counted as belonging to another, whatever their dates. Periods overlap freely so concurrent means the two spans share years, and the shared stretch is named. Bounded means it lies wholly inside this one, beginning and ending more than 10 years within its boundaries. Before and after are the nearest periods lying outside this one, with the gap in years shown instead. A shared thread is what the two have in common besides the calendar, and a period lying wholly outside this one can still share one.
