Seen today, it's not only a startling indictment of British imperialism, but it seems a remarkably forward-thinking work.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
A simple two-act story: Prelude to war, and the war. The former is concerned with a lot of British derring-do and priggish behavior. The latter consists of battle scenes with a lot of kinetic energy but not as much emotional punch as they should have.

A rousing visual spectacle that's a prequel of the Cy Endfield directed Zulu (1964).

...The action sequences are superbly handled....[The] technical credits are faultless....Bernstein's music is also evocative...

...[A] sweeping battle film...

Product Description:
ZULU DAWN depicts the bloody Battle of Isandhlwana, in which 30,000 Zulu warriors wiped out nearly 1,500 British troops stationed in Natal. The film focuses most sharply on the preparations for battle and the political situation in the region at that time. Taking Zulu chief Cetshwayo's defiant stance on tribal customs as a declaration of war, General Lord Chelmsford sends in hundreds of British troops in order to squash the spear-carrying Africans with superior fire power. The sheer number of Zulus, however, overwhelms the British infantry.
Plot Synopsis:
Dramatic and true story recounting the breathtaking defeat of British forces at the hands of a 25,000 strong and relentlessly determined Zulu Army.
