Full Plot Details

A Greek military hero named Darios visits his uncle in Rhodes in the year 280 BC. Rhodes has just finished constructing an enormous colossus of Apollo to guard its harbor and is planning an alliance with Phoenicia which would be hostile to Greece. Darios flirts with the beautiful Diala, daughter of the statue's mastermind, while becoming involved with a group of rebels headed by Peliocles. These rebels seek to overthrow the tyrannical King Serse as does Serse's evil second-in-command, Thar. The rebels' revolt seems to fail, with Peliocles and his men being captured and forced to provide amusement in the local arena, but an earthquake eventually upsets, not only the Colossus in the harbor, but the balance of power in Rhodes as well.

Movie Reviews

Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonA costume epic well-served by Leone's previous experience with the genre.
New York Times - 6/10 by Howard ThompsonWhat a place! For that matter, what a picture!
Movie Metropolis - 5/10 by John J. Puccio...Leone's first credited film as a director, and it shows clearly the course he was charting as a filmmaker.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 5/10 by Tim BraytonIt's not that any of this is specifically and irredeemably bad. It's just that none of it is very much good.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg Wone of the better Italian sword n sandal epic
User Review - 8/10 by Sean MUn Sergio Leone different mais tout aussi spectaculaire
User Review - 8/10 by Morris Nfirst off i'm a sucker for old epic films...a time when making a movie of vast imagery meant more than hiring a good cg guy...the story is intriuging and the acting the same as any 50/60s movie...the sets were astounding and the costumes divine
User Review - 6/10 by Scott RSergio Leone is one of m all-time favorite directors and I'd actually never seen his first film, which I'd always read was nothing special and this sword-and-sandal epic lived up to that reputation. There are glimpses of the great filmmaker Leone would become with his next film "A Fistful of Dollars" with some nicely framed shots and some well staged action sequences, but this film is missing the elegance of his later films and also some of his more outlandish camera movements and zooms. Overall, it's a pretty standard sword-and-sandal flick that's only slightly better than average.
User Review - 6/10 by Adam CSergio Leone's first credited film as director doesn't really indicate the artistic or genre paths he would eventually travel, but that still does not stop this from being a pretty fun historical epic. Pretty solid fare up until the last ten or fifteen minutes when the climax takes a strange turn that is not altogether convincing. It doesn't however sink the picture.
User Review - 6/10 by Trent MAfter working his way up the ranks, this was Leone's first credited work as a director. There are hints of his future visual technique in some shots of this otherwise standard sword and sandal epic. It's not a bad movie, but it also isn't the "Dollars" trilogy.
