Fall Of The Roman Empire

One of the great screen epics, director Anthony Mann’s Oscar®-nominated The Fall of the Roman Empire comes to DVD for the first time in this digitally remastered deluxe edition. The all-star cast includes Academy Award® winners Alec Guinness and Sophia Loren with Christopher Plummer, Stephen Boyd, James Mason and Omar Sharif. Drawn from the same events that later inspired Gladiator, the film charts the power-hungry greed and father-son betrayal that led to Rome’s collapse at the bloody hands of the Barbarians. Featuring "great sets, fine acting, and thundering battle scenes" (Videohound’s Movie Guide) plus a blistering chariot race rivalling that in Ben-Hur, this is a must-see "epic full of the gore and glories of ancient Rome" (Channel 4).
