A tense, historically grounded war drama about courage and duty under siege, balancing spectacle with character conflict amid imperial-era violence.
In 1879, during the Anglo-Zulu War, man-of-the-people Lt. Chard and snooty Lt. Bromhead are in charge of defending the isolated and vastly outnumbered Natal outpost of Rorke's Drift from tribal hordes.
