Romarriket står på sin höjdpunkt. När Kejsar Marcus Aurelius dör griper hans son makten med våld och härskar med ofattbar grymhet genom korsfästelser, mordbränder och svek. De enda som står emot kejsaren och rikets fall är den modige generalen Livius och Marcus Aurelius vackra dotter Lucilla. THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE är ett mäktigt epos om hat och våld, blodiga slag och ofattbar grymhet. Men också om het passion och kärlek. Directed by Anthony Mann, The Fall of the Roman Empire depicts political and personal conflicts during the decline of imperial Rome. Starring Sophia Loren and Stephen Boyd, the film explores power struggles, leadership, and succession within the empire. The narrative unfolds across large-scale settings, combining historical context with character-driven conflict. Från IMDB: The death of Marcus Aurelius leads to a succession crisis, in which the deceased emperors son, Commodus, demonstrates that he is unwilling to let anything undermine his claim to the Roman Empire.
