“Zulu” (1964) is a British historical war film directed by Cy Endfield and starring Stanley Baker, Michael Caine (in his breakthrough role), and Jack Hawkins. The film is based on the true events of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift, a heroic defense by a small British force against a much larger Zulu army during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879.
The story takes place in South Africa, where the British Empire is expanding its colonial influence. After a devastating Zulu victory at the Battle of Isandlwana, a group of 150 British soldiers, many of whom are wounded or ill, find themselves stationed at Rorke’s Drift, a mission station.
The small garrison is led by Lieutenant John Chard (Stanley Baker) and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead (Michael Caine). Despite their differing personalities and initial skepticism of each other, the two officers must work together as they prepare for an impending attack by 4,000 Zulu warriors.
The film builds tension as the vastly outnumbered British soldiers fortify their position and steel themselves for battle. When the Zulus finally attack, the film depicts the ensuing conflict in intense and dramatic sequences, showcasing both the bravery and desperation of the defenders as well as the fierce determination of the Zulu fighters.
