A box set featuring some of the best British war films ever made...

Zulu Dawn (1979, Dir. Douglas Hickox): (Dolby Digital 5.1 / WS 16:9)

This dramatic and true story recounts the breathtaking defeat of British forces at the hands of a 25,000 strong and relentlessly determined Zulu army in 1879.

General Lord Chelmsford (brilliantly portrayed by Peter O'Toole) is the man responsible for the fatal decision to split up the troops based on faulty information provided by the fake Zulu prisoners. Colonel Durnford (Burt Lancaster) is the one armed hero who leads his men into battle with the Zulu forces that outnumber them sixteen to one.

Sir Henry Bartle Frere (John Mills) constructs the impossibly demanding ultimatum which ignites the Zulu chief to an unforgettable show of arms.

Wild Geese (1978, Dir. Andrew V. McLaglen): (Dolby Digital Stereo / WS 1.85:1 Anamorphic)

Their home is their battlefield. Their calling is war. Their only loyalty is to each other. They are the Wild Geese. While they fight their mission in Africa, sinister forces in the corridors of power are working to seal their fate.

Ashanti (1979, Dir. Richard Fleischer): Dr David Linderby (Michael Caine) and his wife Anansa (Beverly Johnson) are carrying out an innoculation programme in a small African village when Anansa disappears. The police can do nothing to find her and David has almost given up hope when he hears rumours that Anansa has been kidnapped by a slave trader called Suleiman (Peter Ustinov), to be sold to an Arab Prince. The authorities deny that the slave trade even exists so David must find unofficial organisations to help him; a shadowy world where the rescuers of slaves are just as ruthless as the traders themselves. Enlisting the help of Malik, a nomad whose family where stolen by Suleiman, David must leave civilisation behind and travel across the desert to find Anansa...
