Film Description

A vigorous account of the Battle of Rorke's Drift in 1879 in Natal, in which a tiny contingent of British soldiers went up against a massive army of Zulus in 1879. The shots of 4000 tribesmen on the brow of a hill make them seem like a force of nature compared with the sensitively drawn characters in red tunics.

Review by John Davies on 8th March 2001

"Men of Harlech, rise to glory"! Rorkes Drift outpost, Natal, 1879: an ever-decreasing band of South Wales Borderers, led by rugged Stanley Baker and a young, uncharacteristically upper-class Michael Caine, heroically withstand the repeated assaults of 4000 Zulu warriors, earning in the process 11 Victoria Crosses and a legendary place in British military history. Macho, imperialist fantasy-fulfillment turned into stirring, spectacular and ever-opoular entertainment.
