Zulu is a 1964 historical war film depicting the Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulu Kingdom in January 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War.
Plot
Edit
Two Lieutenants, John Chard and Gonville Bromhead, find that their 140 man contingent in Natal has been isolated by the destruction of the main British Army column and that 4,000 Zulu warriors will descend on them in hours. Each has a different military background in tactics and they are immediately conflicted on how to prepare for the attack. Nearly a third of the men are in the infirmary, as the Welsh company tries to somehow survive with no help in sight.
