Robert Fuest directs this 1970s sci-fi thriller starring Jon Finch and Jenny Runacre. With Earth and mankind in a state of disarray, drastic remedies are sought by scientists to restore some balance to life. The best hope appears to be a scientific formula known as 'the final programme', devised by the late father of wealthy scientist Jerry Cornelius (Finch), which can create an advanced and immortal human that will hopefully be able to avoid the mistakes made by its less perfect forefathers. Unfortunately for Jerry, the microfilm containing the formula is in the possession of his obnoxious brother Frank (Derrick O'Connor). Can Jerry and the formidable scientist who partners up with him, Miss Brunner (Runacre), retrieve the formula and set the plan in motion?

The story of the 1879 battle of Isandlhwana, one of the worst defeats in British colonial history, 'Zulu Dawn' describes the diplomatic errors and ill-advised military decisions which led to a confrontation between 1,500 British soldiers and a 25,000 strong Zulu army. A prequel to the 1963 classic (and schoolboy's favourite) 'Zulu', the emphasis is again placed upon huge, awe-inspiring battle scenes and the brave stand the soldiers take against unsurmountable odds.
