One of the great historical tales, a sweeping story of glory and greed, of hubris and heroism from legendary Hollywood director Anthony Mann. Based on the true events that also inspired the blockbuster Gladiator, featuring action-packed battle scenes and a blistering chariot race rivaling that in Ben-Hur, this epic charts the decadence, corruption and intrigue that destroyed the greatest empire the world had ever seen, leading to ancient Rome's collapse at the bloody hands of the Barbarians.
