The movie was ZULU DAWN. I guess there was a book, 'Washing of the Spears' about the subject. Good movie, never read the book.

I saw a documentary about the battle, one of these PBS programs, I think. They did ballistics tests with the Martini-Henry, and had some interesting theories about what happened. I wish I had that on DVD.
