A su regreso a Roma después de tres años en el campo de batalla, el general Marco Vinicio se enamora de Lygia. Pero ella es cristiana y no quiere tener nada que ver con un guerrero. Aunque creció en Roma y fue adoptada por un general retirado, técnicamente es una esclava de Roma. por ello Marco consigue que el emperador Nerón le ceda a Lygia en pago a sus servicios. Aunque ella le rechaza, en su interior se sentirá atraída por él. (Warner Home Video)

A worthy adaptation of an excellent book, whose motivational and psychological scope the creators manage to portray with only few major changes. Though the film is far from perfect in this sense, and logically pushes the line of the Emperor’s persecution of the Christians, which leads to the climax in the arena, the romantic line and the rebirth of Vinitius’s personality, which were key in the novel, feel unconvincing. The ending lacks the desired emotional depth, but on the other hand, it successfully concludes the magnificent reconstruction of the Roman period that everyone associates with the cruel, matricidal and arsonist Nero. One of the most visually epic films of its era, though it suffers from simplification and the occasional kitsch. 75%
