Synopsis:
An unforgettable spectacle of marvels and
miracles. See masses of the faithful crucified on the flaming hills.
See the decadent splendor of the Roman orgies. See the wild chariot
race of the Roman destroyers. See the noble captive beauties sold on
the slave block. Tarsus, in the Roman province of Cilicia, AD 120.
Two Carthaginian sisters, Lea and Esther, are bought as slave girls
by Roman tribune Marcus Valerius, who gives them as a present to
proud Julia Martia, daughter of the proconsul. Ambitious, greedy and
vindictive, Julia is betrothed to the cynical Flavius Metellus, a
member of the Senate, but in fact she is in love with Marcus.
However, he prefers the simple sweetness of Lea, which drives Julia
to cruelty and revenge. The proconsul is murdered by Flavius
Metellus who becomes his successor. Believing the Christians were
responsible for her father's death, Julia, now the new proconsul's
wife, orders the persecutions to begin. Marcus is ordered to carry
out the campaign, but faced with the courage and faith of the
Christians he realizes they are innocent. He is arrested after being
betrayed by a shepherd and joins the two sisters in the dungeons.
Lea is tortured and blinded after refusing to divulge the hiding
place of the remaining Christians. Marcus and the others are
sentenced to death, but his men free him in time to prevent the
Christians being burned alive. In the bloody battle that follows
Julia and her husband are killed and the Christians are liberated.
Marcus, now also a Christian, is proclaimed the new proconsul and
takes Lea as his wife. Although blind she will lead her husband with
the sweetness of her soul and the light of faith that has saved her.
