Great recreation of an amazing historical event

Rating: 10/10 (17 February 2019)

Heart pounding depiction of the events at Rorkes Drift when a small British contingent came under attack from overwhelming numbers of Zulu warriors. Stanley Baker superb as the commanding officer and Michael Caine convincing in the role of the posh young officer a few days his junior. Tremendous battle scenes and unrelenting tension once the attack starts. Noteable perfomance too from James Booth as Private Henry Hook.
