Zulu

Zulu (1964) pits British lieutenants Lt. John Chard and Lt. Gonville Bromhead against overwhelming odds at Rorke's Drift during the Anglo-Zulu War. Chard, the pragmatic, down-to-earth leader, and Bromhead, the more aristocratic and initially disdainful officer, must unite their troops to fend off a relentless Zulu assault. This claustrophobic tale of courage and desperation unfolds amid the chaos of battle, where the thin red line of British soldiers stands firm against a tide of charging warriors.
