During the Zulu wars, Lt. Chard and Lt. Gonville Bromhead command the defense of an isolated outpost from tribal armies, withstanding a siege until they are overwhelmed. 150 soldiers defend a supply station against four thousand Zulus. Eleven of the British soldiers at the station were ultimately awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Bosley Crowther
If you're not too squeamish at the sight of slaughter and blood and can keep your mind fixed on the notion that there was something heroic and strong about British colonial expansion in the 19th century, you may find a great deal of excitement in this robustly Kiplingesque film.
Slant Magazine by Jaime N. Christley
A good platter for a great, underappreciated classic of British cinema (under the direction of American expatriate Cy Endfield)—light on supplements but strong in presentation.
Los Angeles Times by Kenneth Turan
This may not be exact history, but it certainly makes an impression.
