This is the fantastic prelude to the 1968 film "Zulu" where the leader of the british force's lord chelmsford moves on the zulu's land to disarm the zulu's tyrant of a leader, because the british know so little of the land they r in lord chelmsford makes a radical decision to split his forces based on false information given to him by zulu impie's. 1500 men r dispatched to Ulundi and the other unlucky 500 men r dispatched to Isandlwana where they meet there doom, it all comes down to a few stout british generals and 500 british soliders against a massive horde of 25,000 zulu's! This film has everything, the drama, the action and the thrills, a must have for any Zulu fan, this film also stars bob hoskins and peter o toole.
