1000+ Zulus Vs. 140 British.

Rating: 7/10 (15 September 2013)

During the Boer war in South Africa, the British forces suffer a devastating defeat by the Zulu army, and the only thing stopping their advancement is a mission fort of 140 British soldiers, many of whom are wounded, though they are led by two young lieutenant's, played by Michael Caine and Stanley Baker, who frequently clash because of class differences, but become united when faced with such overwhelming opposition, since they must hold off the 1000 man Zulu army until morning, assuming of course they can...
Quite a good film believably recreates the time and place, with exciting and well staged battle scenes by director Cy Endfeld, who makes this film memorable.
