The 1964 film Zulu tells the story of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift in 1979, where just over one hundred British soldiers (many of them wounded and sick), managed to miraculously hold off wave after wave of more than four thousand Zulu warriors. Rorke’s Drift was the second major battle of the Zulu War in the late 1870s. After massacring over one thousand British soldiers at Isandlwana, the Zulu army then swept north towards Rorke’s Drift, who held out for more than twenty four hours of continuous hand-to-hand fighting.
