Director, Cy Endfield. (138min)
A classic film and highly influential on other filmmakers, this account of the defence of Rorke’s Drift by a company of the 24th Regiment in the Zulu War of 1879 is unlikely to be bettered. Dramatic and compelling, it is nonetheless a good example of the liberties that feature film takes with historical events in order to improve a good story.
