Zulu
Michael Caine stars in this epic story of the battle of Rorke's Drift, on January 22nd 1879, where 1,200 British troops found themselves completely outnumbered by irate Zulu warriors in Natal, South Africa. Having already destroyed a very large British garrison, 4,000 Zulu warriors are now on their way to overcome the handful of men stationed at Rorke's Drift. The two lieutenants in charge of the garrison (Stanley Baker and Caine) are at odds with each other, but manage to rally the men together and put up a courageous fight - only a few of the men survived, 11 receiving the Victoria Cross. Followed in 1979 by the prequel 'Zulu Dawn'.
