Full Plot Details

In 1879 South Africa, the administrators of the British Cape Colony have designs to eliminate the Zulus as a hindrance to their colonial economy. To that end, the British present King Cetshwayo with an impossible ultimatum to provoke a war they are sure they can win easily with their rifles and artillery against native spears. However, that war proves more difficult than the arrogant British commander, Lord Chelmsford, expects as his overburdened army fruitlessly searches for the elusive enemy. However, in the shadow of a hill called Isandlwana, the overconfident British army learns to its sorrow just how badly they have underestimated the tactical skill and might of the Zulu nation.

Movie Reviews

Sarasota Herald-Tribune - 7/10 by Christopher LloydA simple two-act story: Prelude to war, and the war. The former is concerned with a lot of British derring-do and priggish behavior. The latter consists of battle scenes with a lot of kinetic energy but not as much emotional punch as they should have.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeSeen today, it's not only a startling indictment of British imperialism, but it seems a remarkably forward-thinking work.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzA rousing visual spectacle that's a prequel of the Cy Endfield directed Zulu (1964).
User Review - 10/10 by Gavin MAn epic about the worst single day defeat for the British armed forces, one of the most truly powerful stories in history, when men could still fight the good fight against the savage and untamed forces of Africa. A story of heroism and and tenacity in the face of impossible odds, although the British lost, they made a last stand worthy of rememberance.

User Review - 10/10 by Martin BThis prequel to the very solid original is astonishing. Aside from an odd score, I am in love with this movies.
User Review - 10/10 by Graham WA great film of the British army;s most crushing defeat. A great cast and beautifully shot on location in Africa. It recaptures the flavour of one of imperialism's follies.
