Screen legends Burt Lancaster (GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K. CORRAL), Peter O’Toole (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA), Simon Ward (THE THREE MUSKETEERS) and Bob Hoskins (THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY) lead an all-star cast in this “fascinating and awesome” (DVD Talk) prequel to the 1964 classic ZULU: In January 1879, officials of the British colony of Natal, Africa issued a list of ultimatums to the Zulu Nation. When the Zulu King refused, the Empire declared war. And in a series of grave tactical blunders, a garrison of 1,500 British soldiers faced 25,000 enraged Zulu warriors in what would become the most horrific disaster in British military history. Nigel Davenport (CHARIOTS OF FIRE), Denholm Elliott (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK) and Simon Sabela (SHAKA ZULU) co-star in this “eye-filling, spectacular experience” (Mondo Digital), directed by Douglas Hickox (THEATRE OF BLOOD) from a screenplay by ZULU writer/director Cy Endfield, now scanned in 4K from the interpositive with 6+ hours of new and archival Special Features.
