Critics consensus

“Zulu patiently establishes a cast of colorful characters and insurmountable stakes before unleashing its white-knuckle spectacle, delivering an unforgettable war epic in the bargain.”

Epic in scale, Cy Endfield’s stirring account of the Battle of Rorke’s Drift ... features bruisingly authentic battle sequences and Michael Caine, dodging spears, in one of his most memorable performances.

This may not be exact history, but it certainly makes an impression.

A brilliantly made dramatisation of Rorke's Drift, and it does a fine job of capturing the spirit for which the battle is remembered.

The glory of the British Empire isn’t quite so glorious in this story of English military might in the name of conquest.
