An army of 4,000 Zulu warriors in South Africa during the 19th century lay siege on a British garrison at Rorke's Drift. A missionary, Otto Witt (Jack Hawkins), warns that Zulu warriors have massacred another British army force, but Lt. John Chard (Stanley Baker) will not give up. He orders his troops to fight the warriors–despite his second-in-command Lt. Gonville Bromhead (Michael Caine) arguing that they should abandon the military post. A great battle scene takes up much of the second half of the movie.
