Synopsis:
Brutalized by poverty, gentle blacksmith Marcus (Preston Foster) turns to the arena in Pompeii and becomes a gladiator. The more men he kills, the more bitter and cynical he becomes. After his gladiatorial career ends he takes up slaving, and fighting as a mercenary in the far off land of Judea. It is in Judea that he is fated to meet a great man - a man later crucified by his friend Pontius Pilate (Basil Rathbone) on a lonely hill outside Jerusalem.
Before his life is through, Marcus will see his adored son (John Wood) turn to the forbidden teachings of that man, realise the true horror and cruelty of the Roman arena - and witness the terrible destruction of the city of Pompeii as Vesuvius erupts in its full, unrestrained fury...
