The British had 1 wounded, while Zanzibar lost 500. Are there any battles or wars that were this short or uneven in terms of power? The Charge of the Light Brigade,The Winter War and the Invasion of Iceland comes to mind.

The Anglo-Zanzibar War

Not sure if this has ever been posted here or not, but at the time of writing, https://what-if.xkcd.com/100/ says that there are no movies that touch on the Anglo-Zanzibar War. It turns out that one was made the following year, in 2015. Unfortunately, it's only 31 minutes long so it *STILL* doesn't pass the 1:1 ratio of war length/movie length.

Edit: Forgot to add in the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword?keywords=anglo-zanzibar-war
