Storyline
Two Lieutenants, Chard of Engineers and Bromhead find that their 140 man contingent in Natal has been isolated by the destruction of the main British Army column and that 4,000 Zulu warriors will descend on them in hours. Each has a different military background in tactics and they are immediatly in conflict on how to prepare for the attack. Nearly a third of the men are in the infirmary, as the welsh company tries to somehow survive with no help in sight. Based on a true story.</P> Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Factual errors: The Zulu chief Cetshwayo did not send his impi to attack Rorke's Drift, and in fact ordered that the installation be left alone. It was one of his half-brothers who ordered and led the attack, figuring he would get a quick victory and impress the king. See more »Quotes
