Screen legends Burt Lancaster (GUNFIGHT AT THE O. K. CORRAL), Peter O'Toole (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA), Simon Ward (THE THREE MUSKETEERS) and Bob Hoskins (THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY) lead an all-star cast in this "fascinating and awesome" (DVD Talk) prequel to the 1964 classic ZULU: In January 1879, officials of the British colony of Natal, Africa issued a list of ultimatums to the Zulu Nation. When the Zulu King refused, the Empire declared war. And in a series of grave tactical blunders, a garrison of 1, 500 British soldiers faced 25, 000 enraged Zulu warriors in what would become the most horrific disaster in British military history.
