Entertainment Reviews:
Thanks to accomplished filmmaking by the writer-director Cy Endfield...ZULU has long enjoyed a reputation as one the premiere action spectacles of the 1960s...
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Though, there's an awful lot of lounging around in the hut and a lot of buildup to the battle itself, which doesn't get underway for more than half the film.

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

Los Angeles Times
Joseph E. Levine makes an impressive debut in British film production with Zulu, a picture that allows ample scope for his flamboyant approach to showmanship.

5 stars out of 5 -- [T]his is a complex affair well worth another look.

Zulu is a fairly tough-minded and interesting account of a company of Welsh soldiers doing their bit for somebody else's Queen and Country in an alien land.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Spectacular battle scenes dominate this 19th Century true story about undermanned British soldiers defending their mission against the attacking hordes of Zulu warriors. On January 22, 1879, the garrison at Rorke's Drift, which was manned by less than 150 soldiers, discovers that they are about to be attacked by 4,000 Zulu warriors. With no reinforcements to count on, the soldiers must rely on their own wits to get them out alive. This wonderfully filmed battle epic is a must see for action enthusiasts.
Product Description:
Based on an actual historic event, this is the story of a group of British soldiers stationed in Africa who are forced to defend their tiny outpost against an attack by powerful Zulu warriors. They are outnumbered 40-1 but are still ready to fight to the finish. Michael Caine is outstanding in Cy Endfield's powerful drama. Narrated by Richard Burton.
