Experience battles worthy of Gladiator, breathtaking sets and locations, plus a chariot race that easily rivals Ben Hur. This epic film also features a bigger-than-life cast including the legendary Academy Award® winner Sophia Loren (Ciociara, El Cid), Emmy® winner Christopher Plummer (A Beautiful Mind, Syriana), Academy Award® winner Sir Alec Guinness (Smiley's People; Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy) and Golden Globe® winner James Mason (The Shooting Party). This giant-size, three-hour extravaganza captures the greedy miscalculations, corruption and vain, licentious behavior that led to this civilization's collapse. Marvel at the oversized performances as well as the largest outdoor soundstage ever created for a movie.
