Question: Who wrote a 2003 British-Spanish drama starring a man who debuted in "Black Hawk Down"?
Context: The Reckoning, also known as Morality Play (and as El misterio de Wells in Spain), is a 2003 British-Spanish murder mystery drama film directed by Paul McGuigan and starring Paul Bettany, Willem Dafoe, Tom Hardy, Gina McKee, Brian Cox and Vincent Cassel.  It was written by Mark Mills and based on the 1995 novel "Morality Play" by Barry Unsworth.  Filming was done on location in Spain, Wales, and England. Antonga, or Black Hawk (born c. 1830; died September 26, 1870), was a nineteenth-century war chief of the Timpanogos Tribe in what is the present-day state of Utah.  He led the Timpanogos against Mormon settlers and gained alliances with Paiute and Navajo bands in the territory against them during what became known as the Black Hawk War in Utah (1865–1872).  Although Black Hawk made peace in 1867, other bands continued raiding until the US intervened with about 200 troops in 1872.  Black Hawk died from a gunshot wound he received while trying to rescue a fallen warrior, White Horse, in 1870, at Gravely Ford Richfield, Utah, June 10, 1866.  The wound never healed and complications set in. The Battle of Stillman's Run, also known as the Battle of Sycamore Creek or the Battle of Old Man's Creek, occurred in Illinois on May 14, 1832.  The battle was named for the panicked retreat by Major Isaiah Stillman and his detachment of 275 Illinois militia after being attacked by many fewer Sauk warriors of Black Hawk's British Band.  The engagement was the first battle of the Black Hawk War (1832), which developed after Black Hawk crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois with his band of Sauk and Fox warriors to try to reclaim territory.  The militia had pursued a small group of Sauk scouts to the main British Band camp following a failed attempt by Black Hawk's emissaries to negotiate a truce. The Black Hawk Purchase, which can sometimes be called the Forty-Mile Strip or Scott's Purchase, extended along the West side of the Mississippi River from the north boundary of Missouri North to the Upper Iowa River.  The Upper Iowa River is in the northeast corner of Iowa, from Missouri nearly to Minnesota.  It was fifty miles wide at the ends, and forty in the middle, and is sometimes called the "Forty-Mile Strip".  The land, originally owned by the Sauk, Meskwaki (Fox), and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Native American people, was acquired by treaty following their defeat by the United States in the Black Hawk War.  After being defeated the Sauk and Mesquakie were forced to relinquish another 2.5 million hectares or (6 million acres) and give up their rights to plant, hunt, or fish on the land.  The purchase was made for $640,000 on September 21, 1832 and was named for the chief Black Hawk, who was held prisoner at the time the purchase was completed.  The Black Hawk Purchase contained an area of 6 million acres (24,000 km²), and the price was equivalent to 11 cents/acre ($26 per km²).  The region is bounded on the East by the Mississippi River and includes Dubuque, Fort Madison, and present-day Davenport. The Black Hawk War was a brief conflict between the United States and Native Americans led by Black Hawk, a Sauk leader.  The war erupted soon after Black Hawk and a group of Sauks, Meskwakis, and Kickapoos, known as the "British Band", crossed the Mississippi River, into the U.S. state of Illinois, from Iowa Indian Territory in April 1832.  Black Hawk's motives were ambiguous, but he was apparently hoping to avoid bloodshed while resettling on tribal land that had been ceded to the United States in the disputed 1804 Treaty of St. Louis. (born 15 September 1977) is an English actor and producer.  His motion picture debut was in Ridley Scott's 2001 action film "Black Hawk Down".  Hardy's other notable films include the science fiction film "" (2002), the crime film "RocknRolla" (2008), biographical psychological drama "Bronson" (2008), sports drama "Warrior" (2011), Cold War espionage film "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (2011), crime drama "Lawless" (2012), drama "Locke" (2013), mobster film "The Drop" (2014), and the biographical western thriller "The Revenant" (2015), for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.  He portrayed "Mad" Max Rockatansky in the post-apocalyptic film "" (2015), and both of the Kray twins in the crime thriller "Legend" (2015).  He has appeared in three Christopher Nolan films: the science fiction thriller "Inception" (2010), the superhero film "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012), as Bane, and the action-thriller "Dunkirk" (2017), based on the British evacuation in World War II.  Hardy has been cast as Eddie Brock/Venom in a live-action film adaptation of the same name, set to be released in 2018. The Battle of Apple River Fort, occurred on the late afternoon of June 24, 1832 at the Apple River Fort, near present-day Elizabeth, Illinois, when Black Hawk and 200 of his "British Band" of Sauk and Fox were surprised by a group of four messengers en route from Galena, Illinois.  One of the couriers was wounded in the thigh as the riders quickly made for the protection of the nearby stockade.  Courier Fred Dixon rode ahead to warn some 70 settlers of the approaching Sauk and Fox, thus saving their lives.The small company of militia at the fort, about 28-30 men and boys led by Captain Clack Stone, fought off Black Hawk's 150-man war party in an action that lasted about an hour.  The withering pace of the gunfire eventually convinced Black Hawk that the fort was too heavily defended to lead a direct attack.  He considered burning the fort, then switched to raiding cabins of foodstuffs, clothing and cooking utensils.  In the gathering darkness, Black Hawk and his war party retreated. The British Band was a mixed-nation group of Native Americans commanded by the Sauk leader Black Hawk, which fought against Illinois and Michigan Territory militias during the 1832 Black Hawk War.  The band was composed of about 1,500 men, women, and children from the Sauk, Meskwaki, Fox, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Ottawa nations; about 500 of that number were warriors.  Black Hawk had an alliance with the British that dated from the War of 1812, giving them their colloquial name.  The band crossed the Mississippi River from Iowa into Illinois in an attempt to reclaim their homeland and in violation of several treaties.  Subsequently, both the Illinois and Michigan Territory militia were called up and the Black Hawk War ensued. The Harbin Z-20 or Zhi-20 is a medium lift helicopter produced in the Northeast of China.  Its first flight was on 23 December 2013.  The helicopter has a maximum takeoff weight in the range of 10 tons, can drop troops at locations of up to 3,000 ft altitude, and could operate from the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning.  It is thought to be comparable to the US made Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, the civilian Sikorsky S-70C-2 variant of which has been used by the People's Liberation Army since 1984.  Some sources suggest that the Z-20 is a copy of the Black Hawk and link the design to the Black Hawk that was abandoned by US special forces in Pakistan during the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on 1 May 2011.  The sources say that Pakistan allowed Chinese officials to examine the Black Hawk wreckage.  However, Aviation Week also points out that although some aspects of the design do appear similar, such as the tail wheel arrangement, there are also marked differences.  For example, the Chinese Z-20 has a five blade rotor compared with the Black Hawks' four blades. The Black Hawk Tree, or Black Hawk's Tree, was a cottonwood tree located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, United States.  Local legend held that Sauk leader Black Hawk used it to elude his pursuers, though there are differing details and versions of the story.  One version puts Black Hawk's presence in the tree during the 1790s, while another states it was after the conclusion of the 1832 Black Hawk War and involved a young Lieutenant Jefferson Davis.  In reality, it is unlikely that Black Hawk ever used the tree to hide, though he was probably in Prairie du Chien once after his surrender at the end of the 1832 Black Hawk War.  The tree was felled by a windstorm during the 1920s.
