Zulu

"On one hand, a classic British action historical drama. On the other, a British imperialism propaganda glorifying the country's intervention in other territories and downplaying the importance of local peoples. The story, with some creative liberties taken, is based on an actual battle that took place in 1879 between 150 British soldiers (many wounded) and 4,000 Zulu warriors. As a movie, it's a great European classic from the 1960s, with a great English cast and attention to production detail."
