Zulu Dawn
In1879, the British suffered a catastrophic defeat in the Battle of Isandlwana as a result of inept leadership. Cy Endfield collaborated on the epic prequel Zulu Dawn, which was released 15 years after his massively hit Zulu. Set in 1879, this film depicts the calamitous Battle of Isandhlwana, which remains the British army's worst defeat by indigenous people, with the British contingent outnumbered 16 to one by Zulu tribesmen. The film's perspective on events is instantly apparent in its title scene, which contrasts vivacious African village life ruled over by King Cetshwayo with aristocratic artifice under the disdainful eye of General Lord Chelmsford (Peter O'Toole). Chelmsford is at the center of everything that goes wrong, launching the tragic fight with an ultimatum sent ostensibly to keep his troops occupied. His disconnected demeanor results in a series of errors.
