1964 retelling of the Defence of Rorke's Drift, which is one of the most famous last-stands in military history, and where a small force of British redcoats holds off their vastly numerically superior (albeit armed with less sophisticated weaponry) Zulu force.

The engagement itself takes place shortly (on the same day as) after the Battle of Iswandhlana, with the defence taking place on 22-23 January 1879, and saw the most number of Victoria Crosses awarded to the survivors of an battle - perhaps in an attempt to deflect attention from their earlier defeat?
