1979 Historical Action/Drama from director Douglas Hickox starring Peter O'Toole and Burt Lancaster. Prequel to the 1964 Zulu which portrayed British victory over a much larger force. This version shows the Zulu victory earlier in the same day over a British force sporting the most advanced weapons of the day, but an incompetent leader in Lord Chelmsford (O'Toole). Lancaster plays Colonel Durnford, a commander of Natal Native Contingent (NNC), Britain's African allies, whose advice Lord Chelmsford arrogantly ignores.
