Not in the underrated movie The Eagle! In that one, the soldier from the world's dominant global empire has an American accent, and the actual Briton slave has a British accent.

Uhm, that's not real or related. That's some guy's visual-effects project, and the drone is CGI.
Perhaps you meant the manufacturer's movie here? Good luck shooting a diving eagle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OItoIIoSefI
