Features all of the original actors from the 1964 movie adaptation. Following the British Army's crushing defeat at the hands of the Zulu warriors in the Battle of Isandlwana in the Anglo-Zulu War, the troops at Rorke's Drift, a small mission station of sick and wounded British soldiers under the command of Lieutenant John Chard, receive word that an army of 4,000 Zulu warriors are heading their way. With only 150 men, they have no hope of defending the tiny garrison, but it is impossible to move the sick men in time, so the commander decides to fortify the station, and fight.
